Memories are made of sunny afternoons.....
This weekend , I was Sat with some friends, the sun was out and we were chatting and eating lunch and its the first time in 4 months that I thought about the Times we used to share a bottle of wine in this scenario! It was a tough one, my friends didn't drink so no one to lead me a stray. But it wasn't the wine I was craving but the feeling of losing myself into a blissful fuzz of drunkenness.........luckily we moved on after coffee. But that was as close as I want to get to those old feelings for now. Sneaky situation almost crept up on me.

I no longer think fondly of the 'blissful fuzz of drunkenness' - it means something quite different to me now.

When I slipped back in January, I found myself not only disliking myself, but disliking the thoughts and feelings fed and stirred by the drink. I was positively unhappy.
Still, I drank for a day-and-a-half. Sober = happier, for me.
Good on you for fighting off the voice, but beware of trigger scenes, and play the tape to the end.

Thump! I sat there soaking up the sun and the ambiance, I tried to just enjoy that as it was. But......my AV was in the back ground just a little. I wonder if this will happen every time I sit in the sunshine? I tried to think past that stage, how things would be after 2 bottles, spirits, arguments and deceit....then the picture wasn't as pretty anymore.! Atm I think this is how I need to handle this situation
