90-Days today
I must say, things are getting easier. Just completed a business trip, plenty of drinking going on around me, didn't get any heat about drinking Arnold Palmers during festivities. Nobody really seemed to notice or care. I got all worked up to prepare my excuses and it was a non issue. I'm getting pretty comfortable with socializing without booze. It's easy to see now how ridiculous I must have looked before. Easy for me to now see milder signs of that problem with others, a little too charged up and overly animated.
At any rate it is getting easier, and I'm gaining a confidence about myself I haven't had in a very long time. I have nothing to hide, there is no "other" side of me, no Mr Hyde behind door-B, and I can trust myself to be consistent and even keel 100% of the time. That ain't a bad feeling.

I was amazed how goofy the other alcoholics acted
then I thought to myself
when I was drinking I was the worst of all
humbling
congratulations on your 90 days sober
