Healthy, healthy, healthy!

Watched an old episode of 'Celebrity Rehab' last night. They brought back 3 stars who had been on the show previously. Dang, they looked GREAT! Healthy, healthy, healthy!

I remember when I first got sober. I could not wait for at least a year to pass....a year, two, five! I just needed some sober time. That first year I posted at 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 months just to keep myself going and celebrate (SR ROCKS, btw).

Now....short of 2 years, I don't have that need anymore. I'm FINALLY comfortable in my own skin. I'm not wishing my life away so I can have some sober time. Sobriety is finally a part of who I am. I don't think about it....but it's always on my mind, if that makes sense.

Come to think of it, not sure this is going to make any sense to anyone but myself. I guess I just want the newbies to know that sobriety is so worth every bit of pain getting there puts you through.

Have a Great Sober Wednesday, friends! Celebrate YOU!
