When I got sober all I wanted was a way to quit drinking. I had back problems too- I wanted my old job back, my relationships back, my integrity back. After I had a few months of not living in a cloud of drunkenness, anxiety, depression, and hangovers I realized that I had been using alcohol as a solution to my problems. I didn’t know how to cope with life without numbing myself with alcohol or dry goods. I also wasn’t behaving as my sister and I had been taught. I was judgmental and gossipy, I was a know it all and a control freak and I was anxious and depressed. Getting sober wasn’t just about putting the bottle down… it was also about relearning how to live. I recognize that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. When I finally came to actually love myself I was able to love everyone for who they are at this moment in time. Self confidence is sexy. Sobriety is sexy. Practicing loving kindness is beautiful. Happy Thursday, sober family. Keep it simple today.
