Yes, Drained, it feels good. I went out with healthy people last weekend. Went to dinner with my daughter, her boyfriend and his parents. No one ordered a "drink". No one even mentioned alcohol or was obsessed in any way with alcohol. It felt really good. Just a regular dinner.
The last time my abf and I went out to dinner, he wanted a "glass of wine with dinner." He ordered a BOTTLE of wine. Then went to the store to get the next night's dinner and came out with TWO gigantic bottles of wine. Mind you, his drink of choice is beer, and he knows I no longer allow that in my home, so he thought he was getting over on me by having wine "with dinner." I have caught on to that game as well. I might have enjoyed a glass of wine occasionally but now I can't even do that coz he can't have just one glass.
Yea, it was very nice to go out and everyone just ordered iced tea or a soda. Weird, huh?
