I haven't posted much lately as I have not been around as much as when I first was struggling to get sober. I agree that it seems like it so much of the world is focused on drinking. It drove me bonkers for the first two years or so. Now, sober almost 7 years I don't really even notice the blitz of ads everywhere. Its obviously still everywhere but you kind of learn to ignore it. Every year sober gets better, even when this has been a terrible one for me personally (lost my mother, lost a big account at work) it has been a good sober year.
There is always a lot to be grateful for even when it seems there isn't.
