18 Months Sober and a Wish

On December 19th, 2023, I turned 18. That is, 18 months clean and sober.

It has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It has also been the most rewarding.

I wish I could have a drink (or two) after work.

I wish I could have a whiskey old-fashioned sweet with fish fry on a Friday night.

I wish I could have a bloody Mary for Saturday brunch.

I wish I could grab a case of beer and head to the lake.
