Thanks for the great opener (as usual) Saou!
Congrats on shotgun Gilmer
I love sobriety, I love it far more than I ever loved partying. In fact, I guffaw at the fact that I used to proudly refer to myself as a party animal. Who knew? I love the fact that I am 100% accountable for my actions. That what I say now holds water and can be trusted.
That I am living life, really living life and not looking for joy at the bottom of a bottle. I sure emptied enough of them before I came to that realization.
To all of you here who are contemplating sobriety, or are in the throes of the beginning, or who are enjoying longer term sobriety, I raise my reclaimed self respect glass to all of you and say CHEERS!
Have a great weekend everyone!
