Alaska - Happy birthday! Being sober is the best gift you can give yourself! I hope you have a lovely day with your family. In honor of your birthday, I'll stay sober today too!
General - I love your strategy. Tea and hot cocoa always make me feel cozy and happy, and soda and lime make me feel like I'm treating myself. All without the hangover.
Birchgreen - Great job getting through yesterday. Some days are tough, but hopefully we'll have fewer of those tough days as time goes on. I'll be sending good thoughts to you and your husband's family today.
Goodcheer - Thanks for pointing out how much more present we are without drinking. The whole process really did take up so much time. It's nice to think about what else we can do with all that time.
Hope everyone has a great, sober day.
