Hi Cauli! Glad you are well in the frozen North. 26 inches of snow really brings life to a halt in my neck of the woods. After hours of cleaning cars and driveways, I was pretty p.o. ed and frustrated. A thought of having a mid morning rum and coke briefly crossed my mind. I sat back in my idling car to warm up and screamed some profanities (no one around in the blizzard) and quickly calmed back down and realized the foolishness of my urge. It was the first time in months that I had even given the slightest thought about drinking. I guess that was just a HALT moment, being angry, lonely and tired. Other than this, I too have not considered having a drink in a number of months.
It is encouraging that we are learning to live life without alcohol, and to recognize that life as a normal life. Who would have thought that possible a year ago?
