Good Sober Sunday, y'all...it's only my second (tomorrow is three weeks), but I already know how much calmer I will be, playing and singing for church services today, based on last week's experience.
I'm in the "no need to socialize unless absolutely necessary" camp right now. I have a best friend (seriously, not just a drinking buddy) who I haven't seen since I sobered up. We've talked, he's supportive, and respects my decision enough to stay away from my house when he's stupid drunk; I'm glad, because I didn't relish having to ask him to leave if he showed up! (But I would have...)
And alcohol really IS everywhere: very small town here (>1K population), and in the past couple of years, our only grocery store and our only gas station have both gotten their liquor license! They're just trying to keep up with the nationwide trend...gross...
Staying dry today in TinyTown,
Arp
