One time, I was gonna get wasted

But I recalled a long, long list of things that had led to in the past.

And I looked to the horizon of my own question "What do I really want out of life"?

And I recited in my head the list of role models in sobriety I've compiled over time......

And I looked right in front of me, for the beauty I could find right there in the moment....

And I took a deep breath and I realized....

I'd already wasted enough. I didn't want to waste anymore.

I knew 'getting wasted' was nothing but life wasted.

And I went on with my day, with a smile.

Happy Sober Friday, all!!
