First Experiences
Do you remember the first time that you experienced something exciting like going to the
ocean for the very first time, or seeing the mountains for the first time, maybe your first
air plane ride.
Experiencing those things for the first time was so awesome right?
Then something happens, you start drinking/drugging and the experiences that should be
so much fun all by themselves are no longer fun unless you have a drink or drug in
your hand.
When I moved to Florida I got a boat, I always wanted one. The first time out on it was
thrilling. Cutting through the water full speed with the wind in my hair.
But soon the experience of boating was no longer good enough, I had to be drinking to
make it what I thought would be better. Then I had to be drinking and taking pills.
Eventually the family and I who enjoyed the boat so much, never wanted to go on the boat
with me anymore. Hmm I wonder why?
I would launch it and take it out all by myself.
Near the end I would be out there on my boat all alone, no friends, no family, nobody.
Just me and my 12 pack of beer and a handful of pills.
What a lonely feeling. I remember it well.
I lost the boat by the way.
But my point is..
When we get sober, we have the opportunity to have all those experiences again like they
are brand new.
To experience them the way they were supposed to be experienced, not clouded by alcohol
and drugs.
The simplest things can be experienced again like it were the first time.
Last night I walked to the grocery store to get some fruit and had to veer left away from the
alcohol aisle.
I saw the mix for Marguaritas and vodka and thought to myself, I am soooo grateful that I am
no longer held down by that demon.
That little demon made me believe I could not do anything or have any fun without it.
But it wasn't authentic fun. It was a few hours of what I thought was fun followed by depression,
fear, guilt, shame and many times no memory.
Today let's appreciate the things in life that are fun and enjoyable all by themselves, the way
they were meant to be experienced.
When I look at the pictures I post, I think to myself that God created this beautiful earth to be
enjoyed by us. But not under the fog of drugs and alcohol.
Let's make new clear headed memories and start enjoying life again!!
