When I was drinking, I didn't really want to die, but I didn't really want to live either. I was in no man's land, but since I've started learning how to live a through the day without a drink, life sure feels like a blessing more and more. I don't have to squint when I wake up, those black circles under my eyes are gone, (the wrinkles are still there, d*mn, lol) and my head isn't pounding all the time. These are just a couple of the countless gifts we receive from not drowning our lives in a sea of booze anymore. Plus, I've still got my teeth, lol.
