    Sober Superbowl

    So what's everybody doing for the superbowl? I feel like I am being inundated with alcohol on all sides and this will be my first sober Superbowl. I did all my grocery shopping, cleaned my house and will be making yummy treats and snacks for tomorrow. I invited a friend who is also trying to be sober and her kids so it should be a nice relaxing family day/evening.

    Shit! And I'm at the spa right now and the damn girl just offered me wine as I was posting this. What the hell! Thank God I had my hell no ready! (thank you Byrdie!)

    I am not drinking for the Superbowl! I do not drink!

    Sober Superbowl

    You go Nursie!

    Just another "occasion" that was always about drinking huh? It was to me-like every other occasion. I'll be home alone and I'll probably turn it on but it's not a big deal to me.
    I would imagine that if I was still drinking I would go to one of the local sports bars and
    drink and carry on and hopefully make it home. None of that for me.

    It's good that you have another sober person coming over. It can be fun to see the drunken stupidity of some drinkers and be grateful that we are trying to not be that.

    Saturday evening. Rented a movie, chilling out at home. Have a great evening

      Nursie, Superbowl won't be a "trigger" for me, but I'm sure it could be for others. Sounds like you're doing all the right stuff. And, as you say, just have Byrdie's HELL NO retort in the back of your brain at all times. And, keep your eye on the prize.......how you'll feel tomorrow and how disappointed and defeated you would feel about yourself if you drink!

      Sending you peace and strength :lilheart:

        Hey Nursie

        I guess this is the day of the game, so I'll turn it on sonce I've heard so much about the commercials. LOL

        Also I wanted to comment on your post about waking up and acting normal to wait and see if your husband was mad. I can really relate to that!! I can remember the exact day (night) when I saw the look on my husband's face that he had absolutely had it with me. I was drunk but not so drunk that I missed the expression. I knew it at that moment and he verbalized it soon after. I try not to think about it much, but now that I'm sober I feel that I should apologize to him. We'll see.

        Have fun today and tonight-good sober fun!

        And then have a great week

          DH and I will watch the game and have wings and salad and such, but no booze for me. DH will have his usual several glasses of vino - me - I'll be having some Topamax on the rocks!!!!!!!

          Enjoy everyone!!
          Ask yourselves, would you rather be a non drinker with an occasional desire to drink or a drinker with a constant desire to stop doing it?

            Hey MWO lady

            Thank you for posting! It made me realize that I should have some wings this evening for the game. My bf is here and has to leave for work about 5:30, and I usually get something together to eat before he leaves. I don't cook much, but I don't mind cooking for him because he is so nice and appreciative.
            So I'll go to a great wing place right up the street and get some about 4:45 ish and settle in for the evening.
            Off topic a bit-I was thinking this morning about my sister who lives with a horrible drunk man who is mean, selfish and awful even sober. Why she does it is another story. She comes home from work every day and he is sitting there drunk as hell and of course the progression has been very obvious over the years. All the things he used to do have fallen by the wayside. He still works, but that's about it other than drinking. He smokes a lot too and look way older than he is, gets angry if she says he's an alcoholic.
            I was pondering about my bf, who drinks a beer now and then, maybe 2, NEVER gets drunk, and what if he turned into a drunk? There would be no way I could deal with that. I think my sister hates herself more than she hates him. A few years ago he had quadruple bypass surgery, was in recovery longer than most due to decreased lung function-got out and went right back to smoking and drinking. This is the kind of case where you just go
            "REALLY?" If a person is hell bent on self-destruction I'm not going down with 'em. Nothing I can do about this situation.It's just sad.

            SOOOO....wings for later, and I might go completely crazy and have some cheesecake.

            Have a great day all

              Ann that's an amazing story. Hard to believe people are that self-destructive. Stumpy posted on another thread that her husband is already wanting to drink and he's still in the hospital ICU recovering from DTs. Now that's addiction.

                  Sober Superbowl Success!
                  And it was fun!

                  Ann, some people are convinced they will never change so they don't. It's quite sad.
