Nowadays, I find myself being more assertive (I like your use of that word, Brenda) and trusting of myself because I can more clearly assess a certain situation and act accordingly.

Right after I quit drinking, I still had a few 'dry drunk' tendencies, but I think those have gotten fewer and farther between with sustained recovery.

Thankyou ABW.I can relate to the 'dry drunk'tendencies.As I didn't have a solid recovery plan when in very early recovery.
