Yeah, I was a closet drinker as well. But my wife, friends and family could tell when I was hitting the bottle.
But that was 2 1/2 years ago.
You know, after 6 months sobriety can seem weird or odd. Even boring for a while when your body and mind are healing. But guess what, that ole sense of humor and peace of mind returns. You may even find you'll be even more goofy when sober.lol
You have a nice bus ride and stick by SR.
And have a wonderful sober New Years!
