Last night I attended my 30th high-school reunion.
I had been looking forward to this for months, but as it got closer I felt more anxious, and the anxiousness brought on triggers and the triggers brought on the craving.
I am glad to say that I road the wave yet again. I confidently walked up to the bar and asked for Ice water. I was no longer anxious and enjoyed another event with people I use to party with, without a drink.
Don't pass up the next wedding, reunion, or birthday because you're uncomfortable without a drink. Fight through the discomfort and attend. You will be glad you did.
Make it a great night. ✌️🩵
