I'm probably one of the few that is actually not happy about this weather. I actually like it chilly out, love snow, etc. This time of year is also bad for me because I get bad seasonal allergies, so been sneezing a ton, and have itchy eyes and at times a scratchy throat. NYC also smells bad in the summer, ha.
Anyway, Ready, you hit the nail on the head with having just one. I'm not wired that way. The times I successfully have one are rather rare. I'd usually not drink at all if given the choice between one and none.
I would agree that in general, I'm feeling a bit more upbeat, though I still feel like I'm walking on egg shells with my sobriety even though I'm now on Day 13 and 75 days sober out of 76, by far the best run I've had since 2007 and in 2007, I wasn't trying to get sober, I was just on a diet. I'm just really struggling with that idea of "never drinking again" so just taking it one day at a time since that's all that I can control.
