I'm doing it!

Hello and happy Hump Day! I posted prior to going on my vacation (I'm with 2 other couples in Deadwood, SD) and am here now. This is the 8th or 9th year we've made this trip..... it's a blast gambling, seeing the beautiful sights, and having some kid-free time. Every other year I've drank..... a lot. We all have, it normally starts with a bloody mary in the am and goes all day. I tried not to think too much about the trip and how I'd manage to be sober.

Today we've been walking around to different casinos and gambling and even went to 2 breweries.... and they've all been drinking pretty heavily. The booze is mostly free, so it's flowing pretty good. I've almost completed my first day here and am 100% sober which is interesting, to say the least. They're all hammered and I'm partaking in the conversation and "fun" but not the drinking. It's SO different to watch everyone and have this year be so different than other years. I'm over 6 months sober and want to keep going..... it's not worth messing up this streak.

Thanks for reading if anyone has made it this far, I'm in a busy casino right now (Sturgis is making it crazy) and somehow still feel on my own in a way.

I can say with my whole heart (and need to) IWNDWYT.
