400
I have 400 consecutive sober days today!
Last week I was walking in town and saw a billboard for a popular beer. A chilled glass of some blonde beer was placed next to the bottle. Typically in the first month of sobriety this would cause pangs of nostalgia. As time went on it would just be a reminder of the past.
However last week I felt nothing. Zero.
I actually marvelled a bit at how alcohol was being pushed to the general public and the platform it has to do it.
I’m so happy to be free.

Congratulations on 400 days!

I've been sober long enough that I missed the "craft brew" thing that's been happening the past several years at small independent brewers. There is a lot of names and terminology associated with different beers and I don't understand any of it.
And I'm very thankful that I have no desire to learn any of that stuff.

Well done, silver. These billboards showing alcoholic drinks are usually not noticed, but advertisers are clever and know how to make images stick in our mind. It’s not good news for the likes of us and shows we need to be wary. Oh and massive well done on 400 👍
