Sober as a bartender

Hi everyone. I work at a local watering hole and it's very commonplace for customers to buy us shots and coworkers to drink (within reason ofc). I've been drinking a lot more than I ever thought I would and I am taking a strict break from drinking.

Any tips or encouragements for this journey while in the industry 4-5 days a week? I like alcohol but it's been pretty out of balance for me for a long time.

EDIT: I survived my first day back! And honestly? It sucked. I think that alcohol was something I was using to 'help me' get through my shifts. To 'enjoy' my regulars a bit more or tolerate drunkiness....but, I did it!

Then, I went out and I didn't drink... I was mad about it...like, why am I so nervous about going out without alcohol? I was wondering if I was still a good time sober.

Turns out! I am! I had a blast at the event, safely drove to get food and home afterwards, slept like a baby, and woke up feeling great.

Really, each day I'm sober, is another day towards believing that I can do my life sober.

Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement and great ideas and things to say!
