Recollections of my drunken life

I sit here looking out the window at a beautiful sunrise, warm and safe in my bed and I think back to not so long ago when everyday was filled with chaos and confusion, doubt and despair. I am EXTREMELY grateful today to be sober. I have come to realize that being drunk became the only thing that I knew in my life, it was almost second nature to me. I couldn't quit because there was nothing else. It was hard to give up the only thing I "knew". Over time and with the alcohol removed, I can now see how much more there is in life. To anyone struggling, you can break the cycle and a better life is right around the corner!

God bless!
