Burned out brain cells
Last week I found a picture of my wife, kids and myself taken about 18-20 years ago.
In the picture I was wearing a wristwatch - I have no recollection of ever owning a watch. Other than my wedding ring I have no jewelry - it is not my thing.
I wonder what other events and things that are forever lost to my alcoholism.

I had no recollection that the Seattle Seahawks won the Superbowl in 2014 following the 2013 season. I vaguely remember being excited about the game, but I literally only learned the Hawks won in 2016 when my g/f, now wife, told me.

^^Love that, soberclover!
And...I agree that memory ebbs and flows- maybe some of the good stuff is forever lost because of my drinking; so is bad, as Scott said. I just consider it neutral to amusing now, if reminded of something happy. Thankfully, even my mom has backed off a whole bunch to any "negative reminders"
Today matters the most!

Pretty much every movie made between 2007 and last year is entirely new to me, even if I have seen it before. I can't tell you how many times I've started watching something and my wife is like, "We saw this one already!" I'm always like, "Oh yeah ..." But I really have no clue.
Sort of disturbing but I can't focus on that ... we lived a long time in a haze, from now on and going forward we can enjoy building new memories and treasuring our experiences as we have them!
