great post. I think the one thing that we forget because of our experiences living with an alcoholic is how to have fun again.
I too am discovering how nice it is to just have fun. I can enjoy going to a friends house without a falling down drunk, I can enjoy holidays again without a falling down drunk, I can enjoy movies without being with somebody who is drunk and on and on.
I am slowly learning to have fun again and I am now realizing just how miserable I USED to be. Now I see the world differently and it can be a fun place!
