I'M watching football, my favorite sport of all time. I don't think I have ever watched a game without at least a beer in my hand.

Oh yeah.

I forgot about how hard that was in the beginning. Made the game not feel right. Have some snacks and something refreshing to drink (of course nonalcoholic) while you watch the games. I hope your team wins! Unless your team is the Raiders, in which case -- GO PATS!

On the plus side, by the time the Super Bowl comes, you will be an old hand at this and you will be feeling damn good that you don't need beer to enjoy football.

Funny, I now watch the game. It used to just be an excuse. It is very normal to miss booze at certain times/ events / places. Just think how much better you will feel tomorrow

I am starting to really enjoy events sober. I journal and then enjoy looking back at the differences between missing out on important things I used to get plastered during them.

What a difference it makes living life without alcohol. Every day is better and better now.

Enjoy!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
