As it turned out, I needed more than a Sober October. Staying at home meant I didn’t have to be up early to commute to an office, so drinking more after work wasn’t the issue it once was. That has made me see that I don’t need to explain or even mention that I don’t drink. I found the Sober October feature and Grace’s book to be so powerful, they’ve been my only source of staying sober. Will I stay sober forever?
