Thank you everyone! I REALLY appreciate your feedback. Thisisme - I do think about alcohol from time to time, which I hadn't during the first few years of sobriety. I think probably having to do with being back home in my old haunts and also not turning to food (working on that) which became my replacement addiction. It's still there. Hard to believe!
That's helps too about the idea of hanging out with new friends (not the old drinking buddies) and doing what's authentic to me.
Thank you guys
