I'm actively choosing non-alcoholic beverages in situations and places where I previously would have had a drink. My thoughts now are 'I don't drink'. There have been times that people have suggested 'we should go for a drink' and I've nodded and chosen to have a cola. My other half has asked a few times why I'm not drinking, despite me explaining that it was becoming impossible for me to live without it. My mother still thinks I might be pregnant. I think that's funny. Sad funny. But funny all the same.
I'm happier without alcohol. There's no question about that.
Because 'I must not/can not drink' is no longer at the forefront of my thinking, I have space to consider other things. That can only be a good thing.
It's 6am and the kids are getting up. Here we go again.
Love to everyone and thank you for being here.

One of my cats died tonight. In the past this would have been a good excuse to drink (like I needed excuses) but I have 17 days sober now and I will not give that up for anything. I may not be around for a bit, but I will be back, and I will still be sober.
