Of course, I envy those who get sober young their futures. Mine will be much shorter. But I'll have one. And it will, thanks to sobriety, include experiences that will come because I'm open to them, and sensations that are new because I'll let myself feel them.
The way I figure, when I was 25, I had a lot more years ahead of me but I used them badly. Now I have far fewer, but I intend to squeeze out of them everything I can.
Nice thread, Fnb!
Recently shared to a young guy - day one - I am glad your here, and really love to see young folks abound. We need you sober to pay for our social security!!
It is great to engage wisdom from people who have some. Regardless of age. Listened to a 19 year old yesterday with remarkable insight. Truly Amazing!!
