Tetra you make a great point. As we settle into our sobriety, we start raising the bar. Our expectations grow. Stay sober, folks...it's not all we have, but it's the foundation for many accomplishments. I remember those feelings too, Tetra. Quite frankly it's a great sign. Wanting more out of life (better wages, your own flat, etc) shows how much you are caring for yourself and your own well being.

Back up from the swim. Executed about 4 very imperfect swan dives and splashed around for a while. Nothing beats a warm shower and cozying up after a day in the water, took care of that and made dinner. Ate out here on the terrace. Seltzer water and lime in hand. Heading inside shortly and up to the loft. Movie on the way. Popcorn. Maybe a book and an early bedtime. Life's grand and it's a good day to appreciate how much sobriety has given me.
