" Sipping my club soda, I immediately noticed the party was not as fun when everyone else was drunk." I remember those days well, in early sobriety and even now, despite wanting to claim I'm fine with parties where everyone drinks....and drinks....and drinks....and they don't get clever, do they? I really enjoyed reading your recovery story Ilona!

Thanks for this inspiring piece of writing. I subscribed to Mel's Substack, too. Looking forward to the day when I can pay for both subscriptions. Wishing you both courage, patience, persistence, humor, and love in your adventures/endeavors.🙏🏽
