Hi Kaitlin,

I’m about a year and a half into sober living and I agree all the points in your article, except I find I’m not all that fun (or have that much fun) at parties — so I tend to just stay away. I’m not going to drink again at least until my kids (14 & 12) are grown, so I have a while go before I make any further decisions about sobriety. I’ve learned from experience to never say never, but just saying not today seems to be working to get me from one day to the next.
