I don't think think my sponsor or anyone else in sobriety would recommend going out to a club when you have less than 60 days clean like me. But I'm Nicole .... that means that I have to test things and find things out for myself. I worked all day at my good "friends" restaurant. I had a few hours at home before a meeting was to start. Another friend of mine (current drinker) calls because he wanted to stop by and hang out for a few, I said that was fine. We basically talked for a few about certain questions he had about my sobriety. How do I have fun, what are meetings like, why do I go, etc. I answered his questions and then I asked if he would like to go with me, since it was an open meeting. He decided to come get me, I picked another friend up and then we drove to the meeting. He enjoyed it and stated that it was very different from what he expected. But he wasn't ready to take that step. Which is completely fine. We stopped and grabbed some taco bell, I dropped everyone off and then my friend that I had worked for that day came and picked me up. We went back to the restaurant to shut down and then we decided to go see a bartender friend of ours. We went to Trim, which is the old Basement. It is completely renovated. The structure is the same, but the walls look different and the lights are pretty lol. There is a nice DJ now, and there are some cool VIP sections (small).
This was my first time out since I got sober. I was still dressed very sexy but in a sweater (with cleavage) and some leggings with flat boots. It was crazy being around so many people that we overly intoxicated and it was early. It was shocking! Girls that were dressed up in fancy dresses, nice hair-do's and heals, with perfect makeup. Stumbling around, dancing crazy ( not caring what the people watching thought), and then falling into the bathroom, asking their friends for water. 20 minutes later, they would be out at the bar again ordering shots. And that's not to mention how weird it was being around my personal friends. Seeing what drunk looked like, and it being somebody you know. After I had been annoyed enough, I was so ready to go. I was hoping that my friend didn't realize that time was changing that night and there was an extra hour of drinking left. Luckily, I said let's go, and that's what we did. I went straight home and got in bed and slept like a baby. Remembering where I put everything, not loosing my car, and not waking up with a hangover, with no memory of the night before. It felt great! So until my next outing. Mz. Redd ^_^
