Getting Sober

After over five months, I'm finally starting to get sober.  I think it has taken this long for my brain to actually begin to adjust to the lack of alcohol.   I don't plan on drinking for a long time into the future. 

Over the weekend, there was some very good whiskey, a Johnnie Walker Gold and Green label, to be precise.  I took a sniff of the two, back to back, to see what I was missing, and although the pungent odor infiltrated senses, I didn't feel the loss of anything, like a missed opportunity.  Would my life sincerely be better if I had some extremely tasty whiskey?  Generally, no.  Is my life generally better without booze, for now, and for me?  Yes.
