Hi Scotty I felt some of the same feelings recently. I felt awful yesterday it was everywhere. We were at our friends she was having wine. The neighbors were all out doing their yard work, the one neighbor was having a few and Dh decided to have a beer while we were redoing a retaining wall. The lady at the grocery store put my Italian soda in a wine bag...
However at 7pm when I was still powering away at yard work and Dh had one beer and got back to work, I was struck by what a beautiful evening it was and where was everyone else? Then I remembered day drinking for me led to missing evenings, possibly this was happening to others. First really great weekend on the lake
I was truly happy that moment. Happy for the sore back, happy my yard was looking awesome, at least the front and happier still I was sober enough to enjoy it. Hang in there. Everyday builds new sober muscles.
