This past weekend I headed to Chicago for my sister-in-law to be's wedding shower and some personal things I had to do there. I spent a lot of time catching up with some friends there - so great to see everyone - which of course involved a few bars! I am happy to report that I successfully spent time at a few bars - Lindsay's Landing in Wauconda and Six Degrees in Bucktown - without drinking alcohol!
I have started drinking non-alcoholic beers but really cannot drink more than 2 given the after taste. My other new favorite mocktail that is great for summer is lemonade and club soda! Other than that, I drink water. On Saturday, I managed to stay at Six Degrees for 5 hours without one drop of alcohol. I was very proud of myself!
I know, I may sound crazy saying this, but before I was pregnant, going to a bar without having a drink just would never have worked for me. I mean honestly, what is the point??? But I can now do it and enjoy the experience! I feel very grown-up!!!
And I don't have to miss out on seeing some great people and great times just because I am not drinking!!!
Just 18 more weeks until I can really enjoy a drink!!!
