Zufrieden

Took my youngest daughter and a friend to see a musician named Charlie Puth perform in San Francisco tonight. It's a school/work night but we have had this planned for months and decided to do it.
The whole 1 1/2 hour down I kept having pleasant subconscious feelings of anticipation. I started thinking about them and realized that my body was looking forward to several large beers with the other dads at the back of the concert hall. It was powerful and strange to feel that after so many months of sobriety but I must have stored memories of so many different arenas where alcohol played a role. I would have typically gotten low level ranked and then cabbed to my in-laws house for the night.
Tonight we got there, I found a seat in the back, read a few SR posts and drank sparkling water. Great time with my daughter and solid drive back home. 1:00 am now and going to bed sober. So many devious triggers still waiting but the pull becomes weaker as time passes.
Grateful for the evening.
