Re: Things you noticed being sober/clean

Yes I have seen that as well. It is a reminder of where I was and yes sad to see.
I grew in many areas from seeing that. How I handle it these days... A polite hello and just let the changes in me be a witness that they may see. If they see how different my life is without the drinking, they may want the same. By example, not by words I may be able to show them the truth.
Prayer as well goes along with that here. I try to always remember that someone showed me with kindness and understanding what could be for my life. It would be nice to be able to do that for others.

Would be so wonderful for all people to be able to see... the flowers, the baby chickens, the paint colors, a warm day and sunshine, clear thoughts, the smell of a flower, the full moon at night, a love for a puppy, ... What a woderful list of beauty all of you have put together here.

Keep them coming. You all have brighteed my spirit by them.
