another day in the bank

a holiday weekend sober; what a concept!

for a while it seemed almost odd to enjoy myself
without adding booze.

it is refreshing to be able to interact, entertain
and have a good time with folks without the
formerly standard supply of alcohol.

while this comfy feeling hasn't come quickly,
it kind of gradually happened over time.

all the old "romancing the high" thoughts have
finally faded into near obscurity.

I try to never judge those who drink,
and I'm never ashamed to admit I enjoyed it,
but now just explain that; "what used to turn me on,
turned on me"!
