RECOVERY
Recovery is not simple abstinence.
It's about healing the brain, remembering how to feel, learning how to make good decisions, becoming the kind of person who can engage in healthy relationships, cultivating the willingness to accept help from others, daring to be honest, and opening up to doing.-Debra Jay.

I hope we we all have a good sober day today!

Great posts, Efra.
Just what I needed to hear. I’m reading over the reasons to stay sober. Sometimes I lose my enthusiasm for sobriety and that scares me. The ‘forgetting’ of all the gifts. So it’s 7:30 pm and I feel a Wednesday night meeting coming on! I think it was my boss happily discussing the increase of bars and boozy festivals in our downtown with our software vendor. I was on calls all day and that was during the last one. It didn’t make me want to drink. It made me feel like an outsider. Then, I finally logged out and felt off
From that to a pandemic evening at home. Saw the latest Gulf Hurricane news and thinking of people just 4 hours away dealing with that nightmare. I’m sad. It’s this ‘nowhere to go’ feeling. Do you know it? It means I need to talk to a sober alcoholic! Those feelings are real, but it’s not the way I want to keep looking at it. I need to look HERE. This direction. Towards good health. Life. Empathy. Maybe I can help. I have a rich full life like so many here. There’s that group out there that I used to be part of.. I see them at work sometimes. I see them on Facebook sometimes. Lots of effort goes into that shallow life of pretending to be cool and fun. Not feeling much, apathetic, living in a bubble. Waking up hungover. Being irritable until after lunch. It’s a bit like a haunting..it gets under my skin.
Good news: This week I feel like I made a new friend. A non-drinking one. A real friend. I’m thinking of that blessing.
I am so grateful to be with you on this path. Thank you for listening.
If you have ONE thing you can share with me, and with everyone..that you love about your sober life, could you share it? (Or ten things)
thank You

^^^^^^^
Self respect
Remembering the entirety of the night before.
Meaningful conversations.
Being really ‘there’ for my family and friends.
Going to be sober.
Waking up hangover free.
The sunshine peeking through the slats in the blinds.
Being aware of the blessings of simple things.
Looking forward to a good meal instead of the wine that went with it.
Looking forward to a cup of coffee in the morning because of its warmth, richness and fullness.
Loving life.
