I know people with several millions , i know people with not very much . The fight is the same , a fraternal bond .
Externally , materialy my life as a non-drinker might look the same , the work has gone on inside my head , changing and challenging my experience and perception .
For me 125 IQ and a quick brain that could think it's way round a corkscrew isn't always an advantage in staying sober .
Learning how to turn off , let go of all the big "stuff" was quite important , take time over the small pleasures , get out of thinking my way through life , the future , the past , and into observing myself and experiencing it as it's served up , fresh .
Thinking about the decision i'm making now and enjoying now is how i maintain my sobriety .. all the rest is speculation seen through the warped lens of our own memories and notions .
Stay strong , nice to have you back .
