Hi Classmates
Sorry about the puppy, Daisy. Fingers crossed here. Wolfie congrats on 40 !
I agree , at this point it is the coping with and processing feelings sober, as Cityboy said, that is a new challenge.
Opening up my feelings and experiences more here, and reading others do the same, is really helping. Compared to previous attempts.
I feel my routine is settling now. No major AV's in restaurants or beer/wine lines in the grocery store. I have even been to work lunches in bars, as the only one not drinking with my food, and fending off occasional questions. It is still a constant daily grind and hard uphill push, but without as many tempting AV spikes.
Have a happy sober evening and day wherever you may be
