Ready, I think it's much better "feeling lazy" than feeling hungover!

I'm capping off my 12th-consecutive sober weekend. This was a relatively easy one. I'm at my parents and wanted to catch up with some friends I grew up with. Grabbed a late lunch with them yesterday vs going out to the bars last night, which would have been my normal plan. Was totally fine catching up at lunch. I think over the 2.5 hours we were out, they each had maybe 2 or 3 beers. While I might have kept that pace had I been drinking beer rather than just water, like I had, I know my default setting is to drink a lot faster.

Anyway, I do still feel somewhat like I'm missing out on fun stuff since I'm not going out to the bars while I heard all my friends in NYC were doing that last night and my friends here were doing the same while I was at my parents house watching TV. I know that had in the end, this is for the better, but it's definitely a challenge. I LOVE this feeling of being up early and hangover-free on a Sunday, but I don't want to cut off too much of my social life.
