So, I know the first question I will get is, "where in the world do you work??" I can't answer that, but I can say that what happened is not uncommon at my job! Anyway, yesterday, a producer of some very high-end vodka walked into my office and gave me a gigantic bottle, plus a couple of shot glasses, to thank me for some work I had been doing. On Thursday I'll have two weeks sober! Cue the "wah wah" cartoon music! How come this never happened when I was drinking?!

Anyway, I struggled hard with what to do. Thankfully, vodka has never been my thing. If it had been tequila or wine, that might have been a different story. Eventually I put it in our supply closet for industry give-aways. Seeing the humor and the irony kind of got me through that one.

On another note, I've really gotten into root beer lately. Another friend who has gotten sober is now really into tea and kombucha. Have any of you found yourself becoming "addicted" to a safe replacement substance?
