20 sober days three weekends of gigs and still going strong
Wow so this is three weeks sober. It is so nice to say that. I have been through multiple challenges and now everything is beginning to feel routine and natural in a sober mind set. My worked has excelled incredibly. I am writing again, taking my skills to a higher level. It is exhausting because my mind is working at full capacity again so I am constantly doing something, if not multiple things trying to take advantage of my focus. I imagine what I would normally feel like in certain places and times in the past. The struggle I used to feel trying to function normally while having a massive hang over. The times with my family I would miss or cancel because I was sick or depressed in bed. Now I am getting home at a descent hour and waking up at a descent hour energized and focused. I have my urges but the pro's are far out weighing the cons in sobriety. The only regret is not doing this years sooner I have a lot of time to make up for. I have four years in a band that half of those experiences I can't remember. I remember having fun but what was the point when you can't walk away with anything memorable or meaningful. To wrap it up I am excited for what is to come and grateful that I can finally take care of myself. It is about freakin time.

Cat626, great to hear all of that, it really is a crazy thing, by the sounds of it you have so much creativity and passion for life and yet like us all we spend years numbing all that with alcohol. You've given me a bit of a wake up call to not just sit back and watch it drift by but to get up and do something meaningful/worthwhile/interesting. Enjoy your new found focus and energy, I'm gonna go and find mine after a good nights sleep. Thanks,
