Telling people I am sober and their reaction
4 1/2 months sober
Went to a retirement party today for a co-worker from a few jobs ago, so I hadn't seen many of them for years
Drinking came up, I told them I don't drink anymore and hadn't for months AND THEN....
All the talk went to "remember the time u were so drunk and (insert some stupid thing)" .... and "once the kids get older you will start again" ...
Is that a normal reaction?
I was naturally a bit embarrassed but quickly reminded myself that that person was so very sad and is no longer around and not who I am anymore.
I enjoy being sober. I enjoy EVERYTHING so much more.
Just curious. Would love to hear your thoughts....
