Temptation?
I just read an article about two new businesses opening in downtown, a favorite place of mine. Rumrunners Restaurant and Inferno Nightclub will both be opening in an old department store building (Kress). Immediately upon reading about them, I was (and am) all about going. The restaurant (and bar) has dueling pianos and the nightclub is retro 70's and 80's with a funky decor that is all Sam.
It's interesting that I should feel like this, for I've been very much dis-enamored with nightclubs and major drinking places in general. Still, I guess in my newfound gumption to do things I wouldn't normally do, I want to go. Of course, when I do, I'll be with other friends in recovery. I also know that it would likely not be wise for me to frequent such places. (Especially the nightclub - the restaurant may be OK, depending on its restaurant/bar ratio...) I know the adage in the rooms about the longer/more you visit a barber shop, the more likely you are to get a haircut. I titled this post "Temptation?" but I don't really view this as such. My desire to drink is gone and I am working my program. Though I certainly do still have times when I want to escape, alcohol (and drugs) are simply not on the list of approved methods. Thankfully, I have learned to see past the initial "fun" and to the consequences.
Nonetheless, wallflower-boy is ready to go shake his butt and do piano sing-alongs! It's something I wouldn't normally do...
