I feel so blissful

I feel so blissful right now. High on life I guess. The sun is shining, I'm back from a walk. I have bought a house a while back and am moving next week. But even apart from everything, I feel so blissful.

It's something no drug can ever give you. It's revelling in pure, clear sobriety. It feels so good.

Last night I had a headache that was like the hangover headaches I used to get. I thought about how horrible that time was. And I could, in a strange way, delight in this headache. It was just a normal one.

Alcohol is out of my life. Out of my system. Has been for 8 months and it's like living in Heaven.

I don't know how long it will take for you, but you will get to feel like this too. Maybe even better!

And I can guarantee you one thing: anything bad in your life will get worse if you drink. It's a fact. And anything good will be dampened.

It's ironic. Sobriety gives you the delight that you were looking for in alcohol.
