Subject: Other peoples habits in reaction

My husband came home from work the other day and I was sitting at the computer with a glass in front of me, and his first thought was "Oh no, here we go again." I had a glass of juice or soda sitting there, and he knew I wasn't drinking alcohol, but, it was an automatic thought that came into his head from my own previous drinking habit. He had a habit too. A habit of reacting to my drinking.
My son and I were in the grocery store getting stocked up for the evening meal and he picked up a bottle to show me. It was a bottle of pumpkin ale, which he knew I had liked before. My son doesn't want me to drink. He is so happy I am sober now, but, he had become so used to my drinking habit that his reaction was automatic. When I looked over at him we both realized "oh yeah, that's not part of life anymore." We smiled at each other because it was just funny in a good way and he put the bottle back down on the display.
Everything's a changin'.
Life is good!
Nanette
