The winds will come, of that we can all be sure...but I will not allow my abstinence to be "blown about by every wind."
You know what IS different, soberlicious? The 5 percent of the time I'm out and about and/or with others, I ROCK IT!
And, the 95 percent of the time I'm alone, I am ME, not IT. I've got more projects going on right now than I have had in 5 years.
Little sh*t comes around but I just carry on (and picture it getting smashed by a fire engine).
