I love this. I read it quickly on my phone yesterday and have been going back through posts this morning to find it as it really made an impact on me yesterday. This is so true. In sobriety it is not that we become perfect people, but there is something really different about being flawed as a sober human, accepting that we are all flawed in some way, and the guilt and shame of the mistakes we make as a drunk. Thanks for this Aellyce.
