Other people don't drink like I did
I went on a weekend trip with my boyfriend's family. They drank, but not like I did. Last night, they shared one bottle of wine among 6 people. If I'd been drinking, I would've been incredibly anxious. One glass of wine did not cut it for me- 6 glasses of wine barely cut it for me. It was amazing to see how many of them didn't even finish their glass, didn't go for a second glass. Afterwards we walked around the city happily. If I'd still been drinking, I would've been keeping my eyes out for a bar I could run into and get a drink.
I could not drink with other people. I needed to drink copious amounts of liquor, alone, quickly, the way I wanted to. The social aspect of drinking was gone for me. It is amazing that most people are content with a glass of wine, even a half glass.
At the end of my drinking, I didn't even enjoy cocktails anymore. They were too weak. I needed something stronger.

I'm finally to the point where I can go out with my wife here and there. She will never finish a single drink during the course of her entire meal. I always finished her drinks off for her.

Reminds me that what I miss is not what I see around me when others drink - was never that for me anyhow. It was complete oblivion or as close to I could get to it, every single time.
Nice work being sober, nice work on your observations, thanks for the post.
