Great thread! You did very well, Bexxed! Myself, no way would I have spent an evening with one of my old drinking buddies after only eight weeks sober. Not even seven months sober now.
One of the things you mentioned was your friend asking, "did anything happen?" You see that so many times in TV and movies trying to be dramatic. The characters will go stone cold sober after running a school bus off a cliff or something. No, for most of us, I think we eventually just one day have had enough.
