Jemma, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Sending good thoughts your way!
SoberMarathon, I feel the same way. Drinking was mentally exhausting. I'm so glad my Saturday didn't include any of that! I got a little bit of shopping done tonight; surprisingly the mall wasn't too crowded. While I was walking around I had a thought: everyone here is sober (well most likely); I'm just like them, another sober person getting errands done on a Saturday night. It was a good feeling. I felt in control and responsible. Like a real adult!
I hope you all are well. Goodnight!
