Told my one friend I woulda gotten drunk wife woulda called i woulda lied about my whereabouts wondered home drving drunk then THEN if i would have gotten away with it I knwo for a FACT i would be plotting doing it all over again in short order.
It was wierd for me to have such a strong craving like that out of nowhere all that it took was the sign out front 1.25 drafts *sigh*.
When I quit in 2013 I had cravings all the time.
This time I do not. I do miss the freedom of being able to go to a bar and the rituals of being a drinker but the actual alcohol buzz and the hangovers I do not miss.
Saturday my wife and I had to drive I-90 from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania/New York border to pickup our daughter. My wife and I used to regularly hit all the wineries along US 20 outside of Buffalo to Geneva Ohio. We always had a lot of fun.
Saturday it made me sad that it likely will never happen again.
