satisfaction

It's nice to have, and I have it.

I am satisfied that I have remained totally sober for the last month, no alcohol or any of the other intoxicants that I was so fond of.
I am satisfied that I am not powerless over substances, I can and have exercised my own power to leave them behind at my will.
I am satisfied knowing that all the positive reasons I had for quitting are materializing, and all the negative reasons are diminishing.

Funny thing is I was never satisifed when I was abusing. I always wanted another drink. I was dissatisfied waking up in the morning and feeling ill. I was dissatisfied knowing I didn't have control. I was dissatisifed knowing what kind of person I had allowed myself to become.

It is satisfying to change that.

Sounds Good!

We all get to the point where the booze/drugs are using us and not the other way around... Sobriety works for us either way doesn't it?
