I gotcha. Though I'm a long ways from a year, I'm definitely feeling along those same lines. Drinking just isn't a viable option anymore. That part of my life is over, and I like the new one I'm building in recovery a lot more. No reason to go back.
While recovery is on my mind a lot these days, drinking isn't.
