I am certainly new to this thing called soberity. One thing that was hard for me was realizing that "I will never enjoy a cold beer or a good wiskey again" I must say that I cried like a baby. Like I had lost my best friend. Then I started to think that the words CAN'T, NEVER, ETC. was the problem and were largely not part of my vocabulary to begin with . I certainly can drink. I had not lost my best friend. He was right around the corner. I am just choosing not to visit him. Or at least not visit him today. This thought process is working for me. At least for now.
