Thanks, everyone
It might not seem like much to everyone with months and years of being dry but I'm feeling strangely good about having just slowed down, for the first of what I hope will be many, many days. I'm not feeling any particular amount of stress about drinking or not drinking at a party tonight. I've already chosen a couple of particularly good bottles of wine to bring for others to drink at dinner tomorrow, thus slowly giving away a cellar full of wine and booze.
