Another great thing about being a recovering alcoholic, rather than a drunk, is that when you go out for a curry as I did last night, wearing a new £32 shirt, then you wake up the next day with a shirt with not one stain down it!! It may seem trivial but the little things like that really make a difference.
My clothes used to be a disgusting mess after a night out back when I was drinking. Particularly when trying to eat curry and naan bread whilst intoxicated as I always was when going out for a curry.
I am just feeling so grateful today for putting the drink and drugs down ten months ago. Whilst it isn't always easy it most definately is worth it! When you were happy to accept an imminent death, just as long as you were drunk, then anything is a bonus! It just happens that anything is a new freedom and direction in life that was only created by my alcoholism.
