Fair perspective.

I was sharing an experience I had, and how I genuinely felt.

As for newbs - it’s my hope that what they’d see in my post is how utterly grateful I am for my sobriety, how my experience reminded me of that truly terrible experience of waking confusedly from a blackout and into a dizzying and disconnected nausea. How there are times even in long term sobriety that we are shocked into that state again and how sobriety is something we continue to work at and be grateful for even welll down the road. Perhaps they’d also see the goodness of remaining good humored and staying engaged with life in my words..... perhaps they’d only be frustrated at me and say ‘yeah don’t do that’. Whatever the case it’s my personality, my experience and my way of sharing something that happened to me.
