Yesterday, I spent Christmas Eve with a friend and her family. I was welcomed in with open arms and everyone was so nice. There was beer and alcohol available, but I did not imbibe. I did have a revelation and it made me proud to be sober.
I am a sloppy drunk. When I drink, I tend to not stop and this can result in very embarrassing conclusions. So, I was thinking about this last night. I realized that because I was not drinking, this family that I just met, that took me in and treated me like their own… they did not have to witness the ugly, sloppy, embarrassing Micah.
This made me smile and feel proud to be sober. I crossed my three year anniversary earlier this month. Although I still think about drinking, I know that I will be able to see those folks again and not worry about what I did.
I also made this pie and it was a hit. Hooray for being sober and secure that you did not screw up.
