It's always better sober
Hi
I felt a little jealous last night. I watched a group of adults standing in the street with red solo cups and one guy had a backpack with water dripping from it...filled with ice and beer I'm sure. They mingled and drank while the kids ran amuck.

Sounds like you're attempting to create new habits = GREAT~!
Act as if - I was told this by some who have long term sobriety. If I act "as if" I may open the door to imbed new sober habits.
Thanks for posting this!

The "little things" people always talk about...I never got that. I guess I was so used to getting pleasure from massive blasts of chemically induced dopamine that little things like sunsets and hot baths and playing with my kid couldn't compare. I just blazed past all that stuff to get to my bottle. I'm seeing what it means to recalibrate my brain to enjoy the little things. I'm not there yet, but I think I'm grasping the concept.
Awesome post Briar, and I could see myself in there too. I'm not necessarily a Halloween drinker but it was chilly and by the end of the night after all the festivities I thought how great it would be to wind down with a few glasses of wine. But I knew that would only be the beginning and by next weekend, I'd be drinking earlier and earlier. Accepting that we aren't like "most" people who can drink and then move on with their lives until there's another event where drinking might be involved rather than obsessing about it or having it turn into daily drinking like I do is huge. I have to accept that and not let my addiction tell me any differently. I will only end the same and each day we have to decide how we want it to go.
Today I choose to stay sober again. So glad you are too
