I agree with DontRemember. Don't think about forever, think about today. I remember last Christmas feeling very sorry for myself that I couldn't have a glass of wine like everyone else. Between then and now something has changed. Now I want to be sober more than I want to drink. It's a subtle shift but it makes a hell of a difference. I still do all the stuff I enjoy. I just do it sober. All you got to do is give it time, one day at a time
