Wow there are so many different ways to look at just this one little thing- that's exactly what I was looking for! Option of thought. Because things like this used to get filed away in my brain to be used as handy excuses when I wanted to take that first drink.
I have only been legitimately 2 days sober, but I am going to start speaking about drinking in the past tense anyway. I know it's all semantics but these little things mean a lot to me right now.
Every one of these replies is tremendously helpful! Thank you. Keep them coming
