Super Bowl bound

My third sober weekend is in the books. This one was probably the most challenging in terms of trying not to drink as I decided to go to a bar to watch the 49ers play the Lions in the NFC Championship game. The energy of the bar was incredible and it definitely made me want to party.

I held firm though and had a great time drinking some non-alcoholic beers for about 4 hours. I had a great time still and it didn’t feel that much different not drinking. I was just a bit less rowdy and quiet during the game. I do feel good on this gorgeous Monday morning so I’m glad I held strong.

As for the game, things looked bleak for the 49ers at the beginning. We finally put things together and capitalized on some Lions mishaps to go on an epic run in the second half and win things.

If you had told me at the beginning of the year that the UW Huskies would go to the Natty and the 49ers would be in the Super Bowl, I would be beside myself. Losing in the Natty has unfortunately put a damper on things, but my other team does have another shot at the big game.

I’ll be honest in that I’m not feeling super confident in the Niners right now. We haven’t looked amazing the last couple of weeks and the Chiefs have been beating great teams for 3 weeks. Perhaps it’s just a bit of disappointment in losing the Natty, but I’m managing my expectations this time around for the Super Bowl and just trying to enjoy the ride.
