I flexed my sober muscle! "That was easy!"
I flexed my sober muscle last night when I went to a function at a bar which included two drink tickets ..... hmmmm.
I did a mental CBA on them and quickly gave them away.
The remainder of the evening did not create or bring up any urges or cravings.
"That was easy!"
This morning I feel much stronger! No headache no guilt, no dui. I remember everything and didn't make an *** of myself.
Last night I flexed my SMART muscle!

qwerty123 you are a star
What got me sober was trying to get sober. Often when I lapsed, picked up, drank, I FELT thoroughly beaten. I thought at that time "there is no hope for me"
Yet, when I had recovered from that thought just a little, I thought "I'll have another go!" 
It was a few little sparks, rather than a flame, that got me here!

Awesome! Love your catch phrase, "I flexed my sobriety muscle!" I feel like someone should start making t-shirts of stuff like this.
