When I'm struggling, it's a shorter fall and seems easier to accept.

I've been this way with a lot of things in life. This time around, I've managed to learn the power of gratitude.
It's strange isn't it, I suppose I feel invincible when sober and nothing can possibly go wrong. I think it's things in my life making me happy, which it partly is, but the main thing that is making me happy is the fact that I am not drinking.

This alcohol problem is a nightmare haha
