MrsKing

So, my husband is a teacher and today he had his last day at work for the school year. The kids (well, their parents) gave him gifts to say thank you for his efforts. Mostly chocolates, but one bottle of wine. He put all the stuff on the kitchen counter and (being on a diet) I stood there looking at all these wonderful chocolates and cakes and thought "oh, how am I going to cope with all this here? I want to try one!" For a good twenty minutes I didn't even think about the wine. And then I realised - WHAT!? There's been wine sat on my kitchen counter for this long and I haven't even THOUGHT about it? I have been eyeing up the chocolates, my mouth watering and my hands wanting to shovel them into my stomach, yet I haven't even considered what I could do to that bottle of wine!?! (Wine was my drink of choice)

I am completely ASTOUNDED by this. I can't actually believe it. I know to a normal person this would be nothing... but I remember the same time last year when he bought home wine from school (two bottles that time) and I opened them straight up. This year, I didn't even consider it. I didn't even register its significance for a long time. Instead I thought of how much I wanted the chocolate! Before I got sober, I wouldn't have even noticed the chocolate. My eyes would have lit up upon seeing the wine and I would have itched until I drank it.

So pleased with this. It's the first time I've really thought 'WOW, I actually just don't drink any more!"
