Thanks Dee. I guess this is my first big challenge since getting sober. Mostly things have been going smoothly the past several months, but I was going to have to face a few challenges sooner or later. I’m going to be feeling pretty smug when I get through this sober.

This morning I woke up before sunrise, had some coffee, and went for a walk on the beach at first light. Throughout my years as an adult, I’ve traveled to many beaches. This was the first time I’ve ever woken up hangover free and taken morning stroll. It was awesome.
