Things got better for me when I started drinking. Video 23- Sober By Choice

Day 2, the day after stopping drinking was easier. Aperitif o’clock was hard. Needed backup from mantra to support tricky moments.
Expecting it to be hard while still wanting to be sober. Like learning the piano.
After the first day of not drinking and telling Jane, the wobbly day.
Waking up with no hangover.
An amazing feeling of going being by design and choice.
AA idea of not drinking for one day.
I expected it to be hard like learning the piano.
I got through that day, Day 2 was easier. Sweaty but "this is great", a coffee no sickness.
In the sober world, loved it.
6pm was hard, aperitif time, wine time. Will needed the preparation of "why Im doing this sober."
Alcohol can teach me nothing more.
Fizzy water my new drink, my new drug.
The mindful week of preparation helped in the first few weeks of sober.
Aware of others drinking, acute measuring of other people's drinking.
Vicarious drinking.
After 2 months at the airport, hell of being at a loss at 6pm.
Moments were hard, the old habit said "this is where you drink".
Sensible to have the mindful support and mantra.
Autosuggestion.
