Sober 4th of July
I went to a 4th of July celebration last night with some family. On my way back home I got pulled over. When the police officer came to my truck he asked me if I knew why I got pulled over and I honestly didn't know. He said my brake light was out in which I responded "I had no idea". He then asked me if I had been drinking tonight and I smiled real big and said "No sir I have not. Haven't had a drink in quite some time now". He stood there for a second, I guess trying to decide if he believed me or not, then gave me a verbal warning and let me go. I feels real good not to worry about that anymore. Just thought I would share.

I sure don't miss my traditional way of celebrating July 5th- All the fireworks like throwing-up, screaming headaches, anxiety, and futile hair of the dog.
There's a strong chance I'll wake up happy and rested tomorrow. Thoasands upon thoasands will be hung-over. They can have it.

The feeling of driving sober is AWESOME, I have been loving that. My BF had a gig about 45 minutes away from home Sunday night (and it was fun, so I stayed until the end!) and it was such a relief to drive home, even at 2am, to know I was safe and alert.
We went downtown for our city's big festival yesterday, and towards the evening, had a couple of people offer me a beer by practically putting one in my hands. I was able to say no without it being a big deal. We knew a lot of promotors and musicians that were playing, so when they had a cooler full of extra beer at the end of the evening, they were trying hard to get rid of it! It wasn't as hard to say no as I would have thought. I am tired today, but not hungover!
Awesome about the verbal warning.
Happy 4th!

I have been stopped several times in holiday road blocks.
I always have a cooler with me, so they ask for my consent to search it, which I readily give.
I got pulled over for something 2 - 3 years ago, and the policeman, deputy, state trooper, or whatever, asked me whether I had been drinking.
I told him that I don't drink, and he accepted that without further inquiry (or even a ticket, I think).
