Has anyone noticed that when living without alcohol, how we experience time differently? I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we can enjoy the moment. Now that I am sober, I am not ALWAYS lining up when I can start drinking beer - so I enjoy the moment that I am in - I am not rushing through what I am experiencing to get to a beer fridge. Whether it's fishing with my kids, or talking with someone after work, whatever - I am not trying to speed through it to get to what I want. Perhaps it's a variation on enjoying the journey of life, smelling the roses as we go etc.
The other time shift I have experienced is how the days are different. The days of the week used to have such a distinctive feel. Mondays, regret and hangover etc, Thursdays was the start of the real drinking etc. Now the days feel different, and the weekend lasts so much longer. The days are so much more productive, and similar in feel. Has anyone else noticed this?
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this too.
