So DragonCon is over and done (Pictures). It was a lot of fun seeing people that I haven't seen for a year, but it was strange being sober for the entire thing. It was a much different perspective and no where near as fun as it has been in the past.

It has now been eleven months since I stopped drinking. I can't believe that I have lasted this long. I have had a lot of times when I have almost caved in, but I have made it through with out giving in so far. A lot of my friends are having a harder time with it than I am at the moment though. They don't seem to be able to grasp why I wanted to quit drinking, or they have gotten it into their heads that I think I am better than them. I have been telling them that it was totally and completely a personal choice for me and that I don't care that they don't want to stop drinking, but it doesn't seem to matter. As a result the list of friends that I hang out with on a regular basis is starting to shrink. I hope that eventually I will reconnect with the friends I have lost, but for now I will simply have fewer people to talk to.
