Hi and welcome dreamnofredsuns
Your post was honest - nothing to offend there as far as I'm concerned.
I will echo Coldfusion tho - I had no idea how good life (and I ) could be without alcohol.
I thought it would be a life of deprivation boredom and monotony but nothing could be further from the truth - my recovery has been a gift to me
I engage with my life now and the people in it...I have fun times and close meaningful moments with others and I can deal with sad times too...
I prefer that 1 million times over to drinking another beer.
I hope you decide to stick around
