So glad you had that convo, Briar. It's sometimes takes an a-ha moment to realize what you got. The good thing is we see them much better now we're sober. I have a long list of stuff like this to share at some point.
I learned early on the only way I was going to make it was to treat this thing as a blessing in disguise and embrace sobriety one hundred percent. It wasn't anything awful really. It was a new lease on life. A better one.
So, props to you! We're all special people in our own ways.
