There was a definite shift. I used to drink to go to parties, weddings, work functions, beaches, pools, camping, concerts and festivals. I loved to be with people I loved and celebrate whatever/whenever/ however. The shift was slow. I’d have to stop partying with certain people after I’d done something unacceptable while I was drunk. I’d move on to the next group of friends and it would happen all over again. If I messed up really bad, even for me, I’d move. I had exhausted my relationships for the one that was killing me. Alcohol took over my spirit in the end, I had me and my bottle(s). Drunk. Alone. Bitter. Resentful. Blinds closed and bottoms up. Now I can be social with anyone anywhere and I don’t need to drink to enjoy it. I never thought I’d see the day. Happy Wednesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.
