Dear T,
I know I scoffed at your suggestion of non-alcoholic beer. But guess what I bought today at the liquor store? OK, along with some regular beer, but still...I bought two different kinds of NA, too--one an IPA, which is my drink of choice. I can't imagine the NA one will be any good, but even if it's passable...Also tried the seltzer/cranberry thing the other day, which kept me from drinking earlier. And just lime seltzer today, which did the same. I know we didn't talk about this at all yesterday, but I think I'm just being more mindful of when and how much I'm drinking. Which I think is the first step? Or, say, if I normally would have had one last beer in the evening, and then I opted not to have one...I think of that as progress. I think I need to consider not so much the beers I *did* drink, but the ones I wanted but *didn't* drink. I think that's a better way for me to mark progress...
Love,
LT
