Four years sober

You would think that after nearly four years sober the desire to have an alcoholic drink would have gone away, sitting in a bar must be easy, I have mastered the art of being sober.

I wish I could say that to you. But the last few months have been a struggle. I have wanted a drink, felt FOMO, cried a little inside at the realisation that I would like to be a 'normal' drinker.

I recognise all of this and, thanks to being sober, I am at least able to analyse what is going on. Rationalise and resist!

So what is going on?

I have been stressed a bit. As we steer Club Soda through uncharted waters I am beginning to feel the strain. I suspect this amplifies the situation.
