Love that Cheesecake analogy. Yes, that's how most people drink. I used to be the other way round though. The first was 'okay' the second reminded me of why I needed MORE, and the rest were non-negotiable.
I went to a hen night meal last night. The bride had 2 lagers, and three of the others had a few glasses of wine then switched to water so they'd be okay for their kids later in the night, and the others didn't drink. In my first few months sober I'd have just seen the drinkers and felt left out and sorry for myself. I used to think everyone drank like me, because I chose to surround myself with other people that did (and do).
There is life beyond the booze. Honest
