I made a decision to stop drinking last week. I am going into my first social outing (professional soccer game) since the decision. No one will pressure me which is good, but my thoughts are “I will have more fun with a few drinks” and “It’s going to be a little boring without a drink.” I would like to be in the feeling of presence and enjoyment while at the game with friends.
