Day 28 rehab - Kelly

Counsellor told me the purpose of alcohol is to "slow down one's world"...who can relate?

Do you REALLY want the world to slow down?

Not sure I relate Kelly...the purpose of alcohol for me was to escape the world.

Slow down

The counsellor was telling us the difference between cocaine (to give you energy and speed up your world), with depressants like alcohol to slow down your racing thoughts, reflexes, etc., and basically slow down your world.

Sorry if I confused you,

Kelly

That is understandable. I don't want the world to
speed up and I dont want it to slow down to much
because being sober allows me to stop and smell
the flowers and feel the warmth of the sun on my face.

When the fog clears and we see the world with a
new pair of glasses with clearer vision, everything
is so beautiful. So crisp, vibrant and new.

Everyday is a new day. And Im enjoying it to the
hilt.
