Met up with friends for pizza then drinks. I got to the pizza place first and ordered an orange which worked in my favour. From then on I was kind of out of the round a bit and just ordered soft drinks and felt almost totally comfortable. One friend just asked if I don't drink thesedays and I said often I don't. Later on I was also asked and again said well I didn't feel like it tonight but did the week before with him obviously.
I think for the last round when my friend was getting the drinks he asked what I wanted and I said coke and he said 'have a beer'. I said go on I'll have a heineken and he immediately took back what he said and said he was just kidding and I got a coke. On the way back I felt great to just breathe and to take in that maybe one of the first times I'd had a great night out not drinking alcohol when others were. I was totally cool and all involved but not drinking and it felt great. I was a bit lucky at points as described and supported but overall I'm really happy. I will keep moving forward from this and chipping away with it. :)
