You can still celebrate

It's pretty cool what the Rangers (an major league baseball team) did. Instead of celebrating their victory with champagne, they celebrated with ginger ale because of their teammate who is a recovering alcoholic.

It's pretty nice when your friends rally around you like that. My friends were all super supportive of me not drinking. They all took it in stride, and would ask me if it was ok to drink or buy me diet coke.

People around here have been supportive, too. They ask if it's ok to drink. They support my decisions. I've found a nice group of kids, too, who are already sober. It's nice to have support in this journey.
