One thing that is sad for me to see is those
still sick in their addiction and may have
tried sobriety to only get sucked in to their
addiction once again.

Here, many of us have been given a second
or more chances to learn and live a sober
or clean life in recovery and embrace it with
so much graditude.

To be face to face with someone under
the influence would make me feel uncomfortable
and sad for them. However, as I remember where
I came from, I have no place to take anothers
inventory or be judgemental of them.

They are sick just like I was. And I have to
keep that in mind.

Everyone or most of them at the
party will be under the influence, many
if not some maybe sick with an addiction
and yet we may never know.

All I would be able to do is take care
of me and my recovery, make my appearance
if absolutely necessary and make my escape.
Only because I know for myself, being surrounded
by the laughter and celebratory festivities and
those not being of clear mind would make me
uncomfortable and that kind of fun is not for
me.

Me, I just ride the roads behind my husband
on our Harley enjoying the world with a sober
heart, mind and soul.
