You can still enjoy the sunset.

This is huge. To think that one cannot "enjoy the sunset" without a drink. I worried a lot about that kind of thing. I conditioned myself so thoroughly that I believed that there was no point in doing anything because I would not enjoy doing it without a drink.

I can't tell you that most activities can still be enjoyable without drinking. Can't do it... you have to find out yourself and the only way for you to do that is to quit drinking.

Well, I found out for myself. It does happen. That's part of the "miracle". But it's not so much of a miracle, really, is it?. My wife likes a good sunset, and she doesn't have her one drink until the sun has been down for hours.

Faith that this will happen in your life helps, a lot. Get some.

I don't know, though, if you'll still like the bar with just a cup of coffee. If you want to recover, maybe staying at home with your wife is a better idea. Or take her to dinner or a movie. Talking to people who have had a lot to drink when you are sober.... not so much fun, really. It's best to just enjoy the sunset
