I never envy drinkers
I have suffered tremendously from Alcohol
I've been sober 24 year I was having seizures
Arrested for severe crimes . Now I still have my family beautiful grandchildren and a successful career.
I live a life I count even dream of 24 years ago.
But it isn't just the stopping of drinking .
It the beauty of practising a spiritual program.
In the 12 step it says having had a spiritual awakening . To awaken means to become aware .
I am now aware of things that go are going on around me but it also means the lessening of my wants in the world and trying to encourage others . So no I don't envy someone that can drink because maybe he can't play guitar like me .
I just recognize the differences
