Just thinking this morning about all the good stuff in my life, and how being drunk is such a waste of time. I'm learning to love myself enough to treat myself well. Not perfect by any stretch but moving forward every day.
One of the scary aspects of living sober is having to face everything as it is, without a medicated buffer. To make decisions based on sound reasoning and not some drunken whim. It's accountability, responsibility, and taking charge of a life that has been haphazard at best.
For me it's developing the ability to be comfortable in situations where I used to think I'm not good enough as I am. It's letting go of a concern about how other people see me. Only I can know what's in my heart and head, and that's who I must face in the mirror every day. When I look at her I can say you go girl-you are absolutely OK.
I'm looking forward to a fun summer, without alcohol to blur the landscape.
Thank to all of you for being here. This place is a big part of my salvation
