Well I guess I'm feeling like I've used up the majority of my '9 lives' and am just grateful I'm still here to talk about them. When I think about the danger I've put myself through as a result of booze-fueled thrill-seeking, I'm not proud of it. Yes, I've lived, seen and done some crazy crap, remember some events better than others, and some things still haunt me to this day. I wish I had something more motivational to say beyond that I'm glad I'm passed those crazy nights but that's all I have. That's all part of my past now and I feel like I wouldn't give up sobriety for anything at the moment. Surely life is capable of changing that mindset in a flash but at least if I'm sober today than I'll have a chance at living tomorrow...
