New Normal

5.30.19

Today I had my first real taste of my “new normal.” … I’m sure the first of many.

This is one that I’ve been worried about since, well, the last two days. Drinking events. Now that it’s getting close to summer, there are weddings, end of the year parties, etc. First of all, let me just clarify by saying that I’m 28 and not going out and getting crazy, but I would say I’m a social drinker. Not that it would be abnormal to go out and just get a soft drink, but I immediately worry that someone will question me… and I can’t keep secrets very well.

Anyways, we had a work gathering tonight and it was my first one where everyone ordered a beer (it really was a good Happy Hour deal) and I ordered… a Sprite. And it tasted good. No weird looks or raised eyebrows. Phew!

To be honest, I’m glad that I jumped this hurdle and I’m ready for more to come!

Cheers, friends!
