Almost 2 years
 

In a couple week's I'll have 2 years sober. Incredible. Feel amazing. But it's always there lurking. I passed up a trip to NYC recently partially because NYC was a place that I did a huge amount of drinking and drugging back in the day, and the thought of waking around by myself with all those bars and restuarants just lurking...well, frankly, I don't trust myself enough yet. Call it my higher power but something bigger then me is saying now is not the time .

So I'm grateful for my sobriety, for every day that I have sober, so that I'm able to enjoy life. All it's little moments, all it's little nuances. So much of life passed me by for so long. Now I'm able to finally take it all in.

Congratulations, Sonic!

You made a very wise decision passing up NYC.

Great job. :You_Rock_

Thanks. Since I stopped killing myself, simple pleasures suffice. Turned into a homebody. Being with my wife and my dog, and a very large record collection makes me happy. At this stage of my life, not much else needed or wanted. Just my health and sanity. Grateful for both.

So happy for you!

Very good thinking. Why create a stress- if you can not have it at all?

Congrats Sonic - and yeah I'm a big advocate for caution - if it doesn't feel right, it's probably not. :)
