I hope you are enjoying Vegas. However, you may NOT "enjoy" an alcoholic beverage. You cannot, sniff, sip or drink an alcoholic beverage of any kind. You cannot moderate! You have tried and failed. You seriously have a better chance at hitting a jackpot than moderating. Life can be stressful enough without alcohol. Don't make it way more stressful by your own hand.

Instead:
1. Go for a walk
2. Chow down on some candy or sweet treat. You have my permission! That rice crispy treat is calling you....
3. Read the toolbox
4. Reach out to your pals on af daily

Why:
1. You love your family way more than any stupid alcoholic beverage.
2. I promise you won't wake up saying " wow, I wish I had tossed a few back last night."
3.You are sleeping, looking and feeling better already. Don't derail your progress.
4. During the last year you didn't enjoy alcohol you obsessed over it. Ick!


Eat some fantastic food, gamble a bit, people watch, shop and enjoy (and remember) the
shows. Enjoy your short trip sober! You won't regret it!!!!

Hey AlmostFamous....I just noticed the initials of your handle - AF - how wonderfully fitting. Your letter to yourself is great! Keep the stream of positivity flowing through your time in Vegas. Just envision those buff new AF muscles you will be pumping up.

I found people watching to be VERY interesting as a non-drinker. Drunk ones are just so durn silly and ultimately sad. I think you will be deeply grateful that you are not amongst them anymore. This will be another incredible FIRST to achieve in your renewed ilfe journey. It feels BETTER than winning any jackpot! Of course, IF you happen to WIN a jackpot WHILE AF...well, then it's just a double bonus. Go get em, babeee!!!

Viva Las AF, AF!

Hey AlmostFamous,

I love your letter to yourself!!! Keep up the good work. I have a couple of other suggestions that worked well for me early on:

Do something that you couldn't do while drinking (usually because of a hangover). For example, get up early to watch the sunrise or go for a long walk while others are still sleeping.

Do something special like have a massage or other spa treatment. A reward for not drinking.
