Try to stay balanced. This can be hard when you find yourself obsessing about something you think you miss from drinking days, like being with particular people,.or at certain places.

This happens to.me when I get preoccupied with how I can't hang with my big drinker friends for long (because they spend hours daily drinking!) or travel with them.

Two things to do:
1) I need to remember all the many HUGE benefits sobriety brings me, and nothing that changes my life so dramatically for the better can come without letting go of something.

And 2) These people are choosing alcohol over me. I am not choosing sobriety over them.

Stay balanced. Which, by the way, is.impossible to do.if you drink!!
