If someone asks me, “Why don’t you drink—are you an alcoholic?” I’ll say: “I’m a nondrinker.” If I’m alone with the person and I feel like elaborating, I’ll say: “I don’t do anything I like in moderation.” If for some reason the questioner deserves to know about my past, I’ll say: “I used to have an alcohol addiction.” If they respond, “Oh, so you’re an alcoholic,” I’ll say: “An alcoholic has a drinking problem. I don’t drink and I don’t want to drink.” “So you’re sober?” “No, I’m perilously high on life.” “Wouldn’t you be higher if you had a drink?” “My feel-good chemicals are already maxed out.” “Well I’m drinking, so you should drink.” “Nah, drinking sucks.”

I thought it was worth sharing Hope everyone has a great day and gets recharged for the coming week https://youtu.be/wv0Dj0mMbtg?is=O1N6wpFh_1rQQURb I will probably buy the book or listen to it hopefully on audible

Anyone keep a journal? This year I have been writing more.

Stay safe this weekend everyone. Fill it with something different

How much money did you spend on alcohol when you were drinking heavy? I was probably spending about $15-20 a day probably around $500 / month What did this cost me ? How many times did I apologize? How many times did I say no to certain family and friend events? Was this selfish? What about my health when I wasn’t at peek? Think about all the things you can now do? You may even make more money as a result of clearer decisions. If it controls you let it go.
