Pause. Breathe (and probably pray in this instance). Then Proceed with ‘the next right thing’.
One drink to celebrate could start that dreaded chain reaction that results in a night in jail, or a car in a ditch, or your body in the morgue...
Celebrate with a massage, or sushi, or a jog, or calling a family member/friend, or even better, by helping someone who could use a lift. My desire to drink shrinks so much when I reach out to be of service. :)
Love these ideas! Being with people is always more fun than celebrating alone and also holds you accountable, win-win!
Nahhhh…. Don’t do it!! 1 is too many and 1k is never enough!! Chill…. BREATHE….CHILLLLLL it’ll pass. Go to a meeting and talk about your burning desire. Pain shared is pain lessened. Hope ur still in the boat as I type this.🙏🏾 Just say NO to the first one k🫶🏾
Celebrate with a fancy dinner!

Relish in the moment, understand that what you are feeling is as good as it gets (in terms of happiness/elation), and trying to steal more joy with a drink never works out in the long run.
Celebrate by going to a meeting and sharing the great news!!
Weed is the worst to over come, i don’t get withdrawals but i get highly aggravated and less patient
Congrats on the offers! That's fabulous!
Celebrate that being sober probably was instrumental in you *getting* them in the first place.
Suggestions to add to others people have offered...
Call a friend who's still job searching and be there for them.
Get out of your own head.
Do a good deed without seeking credit or being found out.
Write a gratitude list for what sobriety has given you. Then, look it over and ask yourself, truthfully, what good could reactivating your addiction possibly do?
Glad you shared! Reaching out, rather than isolating is helpful.
Prayer and going to my Higher Power is always helpful for me. 🙏
