I realized i drank because being sober means I have choice. And then after 4 days of sober, of starting to function, I tripped. I became stressed, reaching too far, climbing out of the swamp of detox, relying on yesterday instead of tomorrow, did the washing, cooked chicken, cleaned the bathroom, played bejeweled, changed the sheets. I saw in front of me more pain so I capitulated to the past. My script. Time to write a new one.
Don't get drunk on anything, chemicals, hopes, ideas, fears. Just be.

Hang in there Fridgey. sounds like after 4 days sober you became...productive! We are all here for the same goal, sobriety. How we go about it is as unique as each of us. Just a bunch of sober snowflakes.

Some of the best things about being sober you mentioned...You have a choice and the ability to write that new script. scary but awesome!!!
