Thursday dinner club, month two
Our Thursday bar night turned into Thursday dinner in September, and it’s still going. This week we went to a dumpling place one of us found: six people, everyone home by 10.
Seven weeks of no bars on weeknights. Nobody in the group has asked to go back to the bar. Not once.

SobrietyFour weeks of no bars on weeknights
The 4-week badge showed up this morning. Four weeks of no bars Monday to Thursday. What surprised me: I don’t miss the bar. I miss the people, so now I see them for dinner on Wednesdays instead. Same people, different table.
SobrietyWe swapped Thursday bar night for Thursday dinner
My friends and I always did Thursday at the same bar. I asked if we could do dinner instead, expecting pushback. Everyone said yes right away. Apparently they wanted to save money too. We rotate who picks the place now.
SobrietyNine weeks with no bars on weeknights
I didn’t quit drinking, I just stopped going out Monday to Thursday. My Time saved card shows the hours I used to spend there, and it’s honestly a lot. Weekends are still a work in progress, but nine weeks feels good.

Seven weeks. You showed up for each other.
Home by 10 with dumplings is a perfect Thursday.
