Re: Things you noticed being sober/clean
Drunk people! The first evening I visited this site, I had been reading your threads for a couple of hours when our neighbors came barreling through the doors so drunk they could hardly stand. I was sad for their condition, but after an hour or so of listening to the same LOUD stories over and over and over and over, I had an overwhelming desire to take a nap! It also seems like everytime I turn on the TV, someone is sharing a story about how alcohol ruined or almost ruined their lives. Drunk driving commercials, songs about alcoholism, the man stumbling down the sidewalk...it seems to be everywhere lately. It breaks my heart everytime I see it, but selfishly it has given me strength as it has served as a mirrior reminding me where I was headed. Beyond alcohol related situations, I have certainly seen everything differently. Ain't it cool without that haze!
