Always amazed!

Going on my fourth year sober, and I continue to be amazed / mystified by the following: dinner at a friend's house last night. Three drinking adults and me (two couples). 1 (one) - yes you read that right - uno bottle of wine. And in that, everybody still had wine in their glass as we were leaving. I can't help but chuckle in amazement, what it means to be a normmie. I actually blurted out, I can't believe you guys are still working on a single bottle. At which point I was ridiculed to no end (deservedly so)........hehehe, even my ten your old said, "dad, really? What exactly don't you understand about why you don't understand this?"

Nobody likes ten year old abuse, but I have to admit, it was funny.

Still very awesome! I remember having that thought when seeing someone leave a half a glass on table....

Congrats for your extended sobriety!

One bottle for 3, yikes! A barrel sounds more reasonable says my AV out loud before receiving a kick in the proverbial nuts.
