Part of me had to learn how to be comfortable and content with the present!!
When I drank, I drank to escape the present, my thoughts, feelings, emotions, I liked the quick fix of numbing it all away!!
Sobriety came with the challenge of living life in the here and now, and it was a scary thing to face up to, myself alone with my own thoughts, that sounded very stressful indeed!!
But in hindsight, it's a lesson in life I fully recommend!!
