I haven't caught up on reading the Weekender Thread but I did want to drop in and share that time really does make a difference. After eating dinner at a local restaurant out on the deck, we went for our first ice cream of the season. The only place open this early in the season was right across from a bar/club I used to spend A LOT of time at on many a Friday nights. It was soooooooo nice to be able to really enjoy the conversation, the sights, and sounds, (and of course the ice cream!) without the longing/wanting to be at the bar and the feeling of being sad/mad that I couldn't/don't drink anymore. When I found sobriety again, I never thought I would get to this place. Well I did. Time just takes time sometimes
