I had a moment of wanting over the Memorial Day weekend. Almost two and a half years sober. Sitting around a campfire, enjoying the perfect weather, with my best friend who still drinks. He had my (used to be) favorite gin in the freezer. Tonic in the fridge. It was the strongest craving I've had in a long time. Took me a few minutes to get the beast to shut up. How did I do it? By being in the moment. I took a deep breath, looked up at the incredible starry sky, and reveled in the real feelings of peace and serenity I was experiencing WITHOUT the booze.
