I’m am extremely grateful for my sobriety as I almost started drinking again! I will hit 5 years this coming March! Someone made mocktails and cocktails for thanksgiving and I inadvertently got the real deal. Given it was fake vodka I gave it a try and I drank about half of it and realized I could feel the effects…so pissed but also sad while feeling nostalgic for this feeling. I dumped the rest and had a cup of coffee or 3. I woke up at 3 am with my heart racing like it use to with over drinking. This was a reminder to me that I can’t trust people to make me a non alcoholic drink. Sometimes things get mixed up. I have no desire to revisit that scenario. The heart pounding was scary and I’m not sure if it was from the caffeine or my body reacting to that poison I ingested but needless to say it was a reminder that, that was a frequent occurrence when I was drinking.. maybe it was necessary
