Thanksgiving was tougher that I thought it would be

23. There's no way I'm going to tell people not to drink

This is my road I've chosen to travel on. My wife still drinks and we have plenty of booze around the house. We chose to host Thanksgiving, and with that comes drinking. As I mentioned, I've been sober for over 7 years and it's only occasionally that I face a bit of a challenge. Getting through it in my own way only makes me stronger.

Actually last night was a little amusing. Almost everyone left around 8, but her brother and S-I-L stayed until almost 11. My wife ended up getting a bit plastered and she kept on yammering. It was a bit of a reminder of the way I used to be at the end of the night. Actually, almost every night for several years.
