Big pat on my back :)
Was having a conversation with one of the dads at the school gates yesterday.
He was saying how he is keeping fit and not going out drinking like he used to when his other three kids were young.
I told him I was 3 years sober today with a big smile on my face.
He replied , you sound like an alcoholic.
I said that’s because I am, a recovering one.
There’s worse things to be , he said.
An active alcoholic were my thoughts.

It does feel like therapy in a way sticking it to alcoholism/my beast
Most people arn’t bothered I find.
