I think I always have sobriety in the back of my mind but at certain points in the day it creeps to the forefront.
Sometimes when I get into the car to go to work, just before I turn the key I remind myself it's another day.
And before I go to bed I know I've banked another day.
Sometimes when I'm out and about with friends. I went to a work Christmas dinner. We were spending a ton of money and the host came around with free shots. That spurred on me thinking about sobriety for the rest of the dinner and then talking to my colleague about my recovery on the drive home.
It depends but I know certain situations certainly make it pop up more vividly for me.
Natom.
