Thanks Dee, I've never done the steps either.
It's good to know that you obsessed about other people's drinking for a while after you stopped drinking. It makes me feel like this is a normal part of recovery. When I was drinking I never noticed other people's drinking because I was far too focused on my own. I am noticing it now and trying to work out how I feel about it. I'm not judging anyone, I'm not commenting on it in the real world, I'm just trying to sort out my feelings about it in my own mind.
I plan to stay sober forever so I need to come to terms with other people's drinking. It's comforting to know that your experience is this will settle down over time and I'll stop noticing it. Thank you
