It has only been a few weeks, but lately I've noticed I have absolutely no desire to drink. Last week I had a couple of beers, but only because I felt it was the socially appropriate thing to do. I nursed those beers because I really didn't want them. Earlier this week, I stopped by to visit a friend, who always has a drink in her hand, and I decided to have a glass of wine as I kept her company. I've never been a "Just one drink" type of person, and she knows this. She kept filling my glass, and I kept drinking, as per usual... Eventually I was drunk, which is typically a good feeling. But this time, I didn't enjoy it. 

Why the sudden change? Drinking has always been, at a minimum, a part of my social life. At times, I've considered that I have a drinking problem. Maybe I do. I'm not really sure. What is baffling me though, is my lack of desire to drink.  It never occurred to me how much time I spent thinking about booze until recently. My mind used to be filled with thoughts of unwinding with a glass of wine, or simply not dealing with life with a whiskey soda. Now those thoughts are replaced with simply not wanting alcohol, period. 

Me on a typical weekend...
