Smile Amazing Moment in Soberiety!

Yesterday was an amazing day 22! I have been doing energy experiments for 6 months now. Like millions across the world, this is a new found passion of mine.
I stumbled upon an amazing find that was so exciting I felt the need to celebrate.
I started to say what was on my mind, only to catch myself before I uttered the words,
"I need a drin_!" I don't even want to type the word. This word is like cancer to me.
Although I stopped myself from saying it, the word was still said in my mind. I had to take time from this pivotal event and sit myself down for a talk. I did this out loud.
"Why on earth would you want to spoil such a wonderful moment?"
"What are you thinking!?" "The reason you found this is because your thought process is clear and unencumbered!" "Why on earth, would you want to return to the fog?"
After getting myself back on track I started the experimental process that would lead to the 100% efficiency of my product design. I am elated. I will stay elated. I will stay sober to experience all that this moment has to offer.
I will wallow in it.
I will savor every moment.
I will, with all of my heart, live it!

Dancing,
The experiments are in Hydrogen, Solar, Wind and Storage/Reuse of Mechanical Energy. My progress has increased dramatically since sobriety.

It's amazing how we expect to use our brain to tell us that our brain has had too much alcohol for too long.

I will forever cherish the one moment of clarity, which led to my sobriety.

Um, not being a smarta$$ but I don't understand what energy production has to do with sobriety???

Congrats on your 22 days, that's better than I've been able to accomplish this year.

Still don't understand what an energy experiment is, but so glad you had a good day and you didn't ruin it with a drin_!
