Tough night. I was at a memorial for my friends husband this afternoon and the booze was flowing. I have never been so conscious of alcohol. It’s crazy how every social function has become an opportunity to not only drink, but to do so in excess. I do believe that other than the children I was the only one there who did not drink. And here was the interesting part. I didn’t find it hard to not drink. I found it hard to socialize without a drink in hand! I didn’t realize that I had come to depend on alcohol to help me thru social situations until I gave it up. But I did it 
and am again so happy I’m sober.

Grab a mock tail and try tricking your brain. I was always a fan of ginger beer ( non alcoholic of course ) pineapple juice and a dash of liquid smoke… it is delish
Good job on not picking up, I know that feeling when everyone around you is drunk. It can be annoying and exhausting

Sherry you rock! Great job. You should always be proud when you don't drink. I used think negatively about myself because I couldn't drink like others. So dumb. Now I look at my self more proud and one of a select few brave individuals who decide to not indulge in the easy-to-use and worst drug out there out. It seems everyone as you said drinks and over drinks. So as i stand there muling this over i stand proud that I chose the harder and more honorable choice
