Re: Sober but the same
It took me a few years of no drinking before the real me fully surfaced.
Even at nearly 5 years clean, I am still seeing changes.
It has not been like a light switch.
It has been more like a beautiful rain forest growing back for 5 years, so far, from a 40 year chemical attack.
The ground still has poison in it. The ground may never properly grow again.
Some things may be irreversible. My normal may not be your normal.
Thanks.
P.s. yay. The techies solved most of the edit glitch.
