The return of laughter

I have been sober for 10 months. A couple of nights ago I went out to dinner with Husband, Son and Aunt and Uncle. I said something I thought as very funny. Nobody else appreciated the humor in what I said which made it even funnier to me. I started laughing, harder and harder. I crossed that line into uncontrollable laughter. My Son was infected by my laughter and started laughing. My Husband looked at me like I lost my mind. My Aunt asked me if I took a happy pill. I said "No, but i am sober!" Ahhh, sobriety - the truely altered state!

Living sober has given me something to laugh about again. I'm no longer unhappy all the time and can enjoy funny things/jokes/situations where I used to just cry over everything. It feels good to laugh again!

I did the same thing this morning after hearing a silly joke and repeating it 3 or 4 times to the wife and my son, and she finally looked at me and said "what, are you drunk?", and I said, "no, I'm happy!" as I continued cracking up.

Isn't it great to just be able to laugh again?
Instead of listening to bad jokes in bars, I now laugh and appreciate everyday things.

Best to you! And keep on Laughing!
