I'm not sure why friends are sending me tiktok videos of them dancing to this song for about 12 seconds, but fine...it's a lot better than Quibi.

Sober 7

I have been so busy lately I forgot to post on Wednesday that I indeed hit my 7th year of sobriety.  I was initially a little concerned my wife had to remind me of the anniversary, although I thought about it multiple times in the week leading up to the anniversary.  My work has been a big challenge lately so by 11AM, when I finally remembered, I was stunned I hadn't remembered the minute I woke up that morning.

The reality is I feel pretty good about not having it be all consuming.  I understand some people might look at it as a sign of failure, but I see it opposite.  It was just another day of sobriety for me.  I don't long for alcohol, I'm not getting myself into scenarios where there are temptations.  It was just Wednesday.

I got through the Trump presidency sober.  THAT is an accomplishment. I think the worst day was when Ginsburg died and you knew the GOP would never hold themselves to the same standard they held the Democrats in 2016.  I never once wanted a drink that evening, but rather I got angry. After two and a half weeks of normalcy returning to the United States, I feel more confident that ever.

Here's to lucky number 7!
