6. It doesn't bother me. Lots of people can drink responsibly

And without issue. Lots cannot. I happen to fall into the second category.

But more to your point, I do notice. But maybe I notice because I know I can't celebrate that way.

I have been sober a minute or two and one thing still remains the same since I got undrunk: I/we are surrounded by booze, ads for booze, the promotion of booze, events and "reasons" for people to drink booze, etc etc and that is not going to change.

And with the Holidays are coming up and it is not going to decrease either. If anything, increase.

I know what works for me to stay sober and I do those things.....mostly.

Appreciate your post.
