Last night driving home from work, as I looked around in the slow traffic I watched people making their way home from work, moody teenagers, stressed-out 20-somethings, families packing up their car to go away for the weekend, a poor gypsy woman begging for a few coins and being ignored, kamikaze cyclists...
Instead of my normal drive home on a Friday night, my thoughts were not:
'come on, hurry the #%^*+ up,get out of my way- I need to get home so I can get drunk'
I just looked around and I felt compassion and respect for everyone. I know I must sound away with the fairies, but it is quite worrying how alcohol, and the need to have it can poison not only your body, but the good thoughts you could have been having.
I'm not sure where this sober life is heading, but it would be nice to actually do something good for others with the extra time being sober gives me, I don't know if any of this is making sense, and I maybe sound a bit cuckoo, I can't sleep and this place is great to out the thoughts I'm too shy/embarrased normally to say.
