I didn't even care about the feelings of the past or future. I walked out empty handed and not exactly sure how.

I don't think I've fully accepted a lifetime of sobriety yet. I know I haven't. I still want my best friend in my life to be good to me and not bad. In filling my head with scenarios that logically I know aren't realistic.

Good night friends, here's to another sober sleep.
One of my most vivid memories of early recovery is of a Saturday morning at a gas station. I sat there and watched guys coming out with their cases and six packs. I got out, then back to my car, got out again, then back. Finally I sat there watching and cried like a baby (I'm a middle aged guy!). By some sort of grace I made it home empty handed.

Something equally as vivid to me now is how much I treasure my sobriety and absolutely see it as a gift rather than a deprivation. That shift, however, did take a little time.

Your sober 'muscles' got a great workout. What an accomplishment to push through that challenge! When you first wake today, in the still of the morning, you'll have no regret and can quietly smile to yourself.

Good on you, well done. Remember you are giving absolutely nothing up. You are giving yourself the best thing you possibly could.

Congratulations SaturatedSeize. Even after two years, I still have twinges when I drive by what used to be my regular stores. I drive on by.
