Getting sober means for me facing life as it really is. Not how I want it to be. Life can be hard, boring- not rewarding. I do not have any spiritual awakenings- although I respect those who do. All I know is anything- the low- lows of life as well as (hopefully) the rewards, are better faced and greeted without alcohol. Alcohol for me created the world as a lie- like a movie that has finished- and I have just walked into the real day. The movie was Walt Disney- kiddie innocent at first and turned into a horror film.
Mind- my moods- are tainted with depression and anxiety because of many reasons that also take support and careful monitoring of A-Depressants to manage.
