70 some-odd days clean and sober thus far.
It was definitely time to change my name, now that I am only serving martinis and not guzzling them.
I must say that I am loving the sober life; I remember all the trouble I get in to, I never have a hangover, I am losing weight (Jager has sooo many calories!) and saving up money for school.
It's been a rollercoaster ride learning to deal with life without an escape hatch, but I must say that things are coming together nicely.
Against the advice of most of my sober buddies, I am still working at Club Firestone (WTF am I supposed to do, join a damn convent?!) I've turned down many-a-party and blunts placed nearly to my lips. I'm determined to keep my ass in line and my experiences so far are very encouraging.
Looking forward to scoring straight-A's this semester (I've got my nose in the books and my fingers crossed).
For any of ya'll that think sobriety is for pussies: try having an awful day knowing you'll not be heading to the bar afterwards for some liquid relaxation. It's frustrating sometimes to look life clearly in the eye, but begs for creativity, strength, and growth.

That's a good point, it definately is hard to be under 30, have done the club/bar scene and not drink. I'm glad it's working well for you. I would agree with your friends though, that you really need to be cautious working there. I'm not saying you should quit, just be hyper-aware of all the risk factors. And know that you've got people behind/rooting for you.
