On to happier news... Today is my girl's six month "birthday" for being sober! Two AA meetings a week are keeping her on track with lots of support from her friends and family. For the first time in a year, last weekend, she even told me it was okay if I had a pint when we were at a pub in Monterey with friends. We all went in for lunch, and she knows how much I enjoyed a pint with my fish & chips. Last year there's no WAY I would have even thought about it, but she's getting so over it all that she made it clear it wouldn't faze her. Getting drunk obviously would, but a pint with lunch (for me) doesn't bother her at all. I was kind of shocked when she offered at first, but knew she wouldn't have said it if she didn't mean it. I still felt a little guilty about it, but enjoyed my lunch sooo much. She said tonight that she never even thinks about it any more, which is a FAR cry from last summer. I'm so proud of her!!
