I wasn't so concerned about finding a new normal. I was just so blinkin relieved that the old normal was gone, it was full of sadness and regret and anxiety and shame. I set myself free to create, to make my day into what I wanted, instead of what I craved. I guess I stopped being afraid of so many things, and being afraid was so hard.

Imagine that since you have quit drinking for good, you can do just about any darned thing you please. You have possibilities now that you only need to imagine, and then you can do them.

Imagine that you have persevered, and climbed to the height of land. You have a new vantage, you can see 360 degrees all around you. You can see where you came from, and you can see every direction available to you, you need only choose, and head off.

Decide where you want to be, then get going! Onward!
