Now save that drinking money for another couple years and put a motorcycle under that leather. Nothing exhilarates me more than a nice long sober ride. Bike spent a lot of time collecting dust in my drinking days. At least I was wise enough not to hop on and kill myself.
Yeah, exited about sobriety, then I get bummed about wasting my youth drinking but can't go back, right. Ride the wave. Don't get over bummed if you get some lulls in the excitement. Early sobriety can be quite the roller coaster ride. At least from my experience. No matter what, life is much more exiting when your actually present to enjoy it.
