Wow....thank you for your post, Rosie.
I could not deal with football here, when I first got sober. Couldn't watch it.
Then I had a revelation....if I watched the game sober, I actually would remember the WHOLE game, not the first 20 mins or so. Lol.
Well your post made me realise how far I've come and that I don't even remotely pine for drinking when I watch sports any more - AT ALL.
