Beth - I vividly remember the first time a friend I hadn't seen since I quit saw me. I was about 6 mo sober and her reaction was just priceless - she marveled at the difference. I know people saw and told me before and it had begun to register - I was able to actually look at myself in the mirror, not try to do makeup or whatever while avoiding my own eyes- but those moments will jump out at you, I know it!!
Ahhh, warm or HOT vodka, especially leftover in the car. Classy indeed.
