The little things...

It really it the little things that I'm finding so nice in sobriety...

This morning I went out for a pre-dawn run, and the star-lit sky was so unusually beautiful that it made me stop and pause. A Cheshire cat grinning crescent moon, with Venus overhead, and beautiful, almost otherworldly clouds swirling. I had to acknowledge the simple fact that a year ago this would have been lost on me, because I would have been passed out on the couch.

I'm in the process of moving to a new house, and unlike moves in the past (I move a lot...nomad feelings in my blood), I am not reeling with anxiety and frustration. I can attack the move with plans in place, and a calm conviction. Because I'm sober.

The list goes on and on, as I'm sure it does for many of you as well. Just wanted to share to my sober community.
