First Sober Vacation

My wife and I are on vacation. We've been together 12 years and it's the first time we are not drinking. She's pregnant and I've been trying on and off to quit drinking for the past 2 years or so.

I remember getting drink passes on our honeymoon... I don't remember much after that.

In the past my entire vacation would be based around drinking. Bottomless Mimosas with breakfast, beer by the pool/beach, wine or liquor in the evening. We would go to breweries and distilleries. It seems crazy looking back on it.

This is the first time in our marriage we aren't drinking. Part of it honestly seems boring, or at least I'm afraid of being a bore.

On the other hand I feel so much more present. We've done so many fun things together, made some great memories and just enjoyed each other's company.

It feels good to be present.

IWNDWYT!
