Although it was good to read the postscript too, just for the comparison to previous drunken weddings. I loved this and found it inspiring - particularly as I'll have a wedding in 4 months time and the hosts have already been going on about the full open bar and how I 'must' drink then. But, you know, I'd like to actually REMEMBER their wedding and not make a dick of myself and wake up refreshed and alive and happy. So, this post was one that I am taking to heart and will no doubt refer back to when needed - the optimism is wonderful, not smug. Never. <br /><br />Lilly xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-52670330958719728402013-01-08T07:18:43.794+13:002013-01-08T07:18:43.794+13:00I get those occasional golden moments, as someone ...I get those occasional golden moments, as someone once called them.

What you're doing is huge and you should be patting yourself on the back.<br /><br />You're so lucky that you don't need booze as a social lubricant! i always have, being painfully shy before i started drinking, and it's still one of the hardest things for me to deal with. Still, it's a lot better than the alternative!Al K Hallhttp://alkhallanonymous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-25331549127376699872013-01-06T05:22:58.567+13:002013-01-06T05:22:58.567+13:00Hi there.

Plus, after reading Dec 10 post about being "flat", I trust you are being honest. Good days, not so good days and bad days, thats life. Now.....drunk me would have thought you were smug and self-satisfied..but that would have been a reflection on my thinking not your words. I would have been jealous because you have what i want and (probably) made it look easy. happy, sober people used to frustrate me terribly, but this year I'm hoping to change that and become one myself. Thanks for a great blog.

Keep it up -- it's totally inspiring! When you look at it, being sober isn't necessarily about not having something, missing out. It's about having a few extras: the ability to drive home, the benefit of knowing exactly what you're doing and saying, and the bonus of a good night's sleep and a happy morning after. I can't fault it.<br />Anon from Wellington.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-38939008334191841452013-01-05T15:40:03.312+13:002013-01-05T15:40:03.312+13:00You just sound so healthy.
