Good morning, everyone. 90 days is a huge accomplishment, so congratulations! I'll see you there in less than a week.

Against pretty much all the common advice about making major life changes, I've started a new relationship in early sobriety. We've been out only a handful of times and I've been nervous about how my lack of drinking would be perceived. After all, the last thing I really want to disclose early on in the dating process is that less than ninety days ago I was a raging alcoholic who had completely lost control!

You know what? Three dates, all of them in places where drinking was happening all around us, and it's never come up. It amazes me to watch her drink or not drink, depending on her mood, without ever going overboard. It just helps reinforce that "normal" people don't obsess over alcohol like I do/did.

Anyway, I'm happy to wake up to yet another hangover-free sober Sunday. Hope all is well with the rest of you!
