My experience has been in sobriety I come to understand who I truly am and not the 007 version sipping shaken / not stirred martinis I thought I was.
The avant garde, raconteur. Ah yes, that's the illusion I cherish! I am one in a million.........
Turns out I am just another cog in the universes wheel. Boy, what a relief to discover that. I learn how to be humble and not humiliated. I become one with others - engaged in life, not deceit. I am an imperfect, spiritual being. God? Idk - really don't have to figure that out today. As if I could..........
Thanks for the reminder of the insanity that kept me in active alcoholism for many, many years.......Glad you joined us.
peace my friend
