I just got back from the mall. I purchased a nice lime green dress shirt especially for tonight's occasion. What really sands out in my mind these days is how 95% of my clothing is basically brand new. Purchased with the savings I have retained since I stopped drinking and drugging.
Mind you, someone is paying me to be around a bunch of obnoxious drunks tonight. Otherwise, I wouldn't go near a place like this with a ten foot pole. Still, my life isn't "over" because I stopped drinking. It's only just begun.
So has yours.
