FRUSTRATED...but still sober!

I have had the MOST frustrating days during the last week! We are trying to renew our Costa Rican residency and they keep changing the requirements. We have ordered deliveries for our house, and they never show up when scheduled, etc. etc. etc. We have had to drive for over an hour to different places to get different things....and although my husband still drinks...and often stops for a beer or two....it just doesn't even OCCUR to me to have one with him. I am not feeling resentful that he can drink, and I can't. The truth is, I am not even wanting a drink! YAY! I have 24 days today (yes, I am familiar with the "pink cloud")...but I feel so NORMAL. I am enjoying this feeling of sobriety (again). I remember someone once told me, "It's not the elephant in the bedroom; it's the ants in the kitchen"...that can lead to drink...gotta keep that in mind. Just thought I'd share that I am making it through this and feeling good today
