Hi Laura,
Thanks for sharing.
I go through the same thing in my recovery. I still make my cameo appearances to the bars and realize more and more that I just don't belong there.
I have friends that drink and I visit them less and less.
The bottom line for me is that the whole world hasn't changed, but, I have in my sobriety.
I realize that most people out there that drink don't have the problem that I had when I was out there.
It;s good to hear story's like yours because thats how I am able to keep my sanity.
These emotions that we are going thru are all normal and to be expected.
