I spend time lurking on other sobriety boards, and today I ran across a true gem of a post on Reddit. It's profound, and very funny. I think we can all relate. And a good laugh helps too. I spent hours trying to track down the author of this post to ask his permission to re-post it on MWO, but I had no luck. It's over a year old, so maybe he is no longer active on the board. I'm not very familiar with Reddit, so it might just be me. Either way, I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this. So... printed without prior permission, but with the hope that an apology will do if necessary...
Quote of the Moment
Me Sober: I'm working in my studio when I realize I need to blow my nose. I don't have any tissue paper here, and I don't want to blow my nose in my shirt because that would be fucking disgusting, so I have to go into the house.
In the bathroom, I realize the toilet paper roll is almost empty, so I use the last square, then take the empty roll off. Remembering how annoying my wife finds it when there's no TP on the roll, I check under the sink to see if there's any in the cabinet. There isn't. That means I need to go into the utility room to get more out of the supply closet. She'll never know I did this, but I don't care.
On my way there I see that the dog's food dish is empty. I fill it up. Then I get the TP and bring it back into the bathroom. I put it on the roller.
Then, on my way out, I notice my daughter is sitting alone in her room, on her bed, looking kind of sad. I pop in to give her a hug and find out what's bugging her. She's having issues with a friend at school. We talk about the best way to handle it.
The cat comes in. We pet it, and the cat acts silly. This makes us laugh. This in turn brings my other daughter in, and soon she's laughing. Naturally my wife wants to know what all the commotion is about. So the four of us are in one room, laughing together at the cat's antics. This is my family and I love them.
