I thought I share this story with y’all because I find it throughly amusing. My fiancee and I are on day 6, and we have been telling some close loved ones about our sobriety (especially friends who are big drinkers and go out a lot) and y’all I can’t tell you how many people say “that is wonderful or great or good for you etc.,” then say “you know I should become sober too, or I really should stop drinking. You know if I became sober/stopped drinking my life would become, you know drinking really bad for you, how did you guys just stop…etc. (everyone goes on a rabbit trail after that) Literally, we have spoke to 10 people and all of them have said these lines!!! We just find it so amusing how many people ACTUALLY DISLIKE DRINKING. So the main point is one to show you how many people think its awesome to be sober and so many people have been like you know drinking really isnt good for me *have acknowledge with or without a problem, alcohol is a toxin” and I really just want to share this because I have read a few posts on the forum about how many individuals are upset that they wont be able to drink again, or upset as to why they cant seem to have self control or moderation like others, or that they get jealous that people are able to relax with drinks while they are not. WELL LET ME TELL YOU, WE ARE THE COOL SOBER PEOPLE and you dont need to be upset or jealous, because believe me you have alot more fun with out drinking and everyone is secretly envious that they aren’t sober like you! hope this cheers people up with struggling to never be able to drink again
