I haven't had a drink in six years. If I were to drink, it would be a conscious decision to do so, full well accepting the consequences that I know without a doubt, would be dire. What has happened to me changed the fiber of my being. I am no longer the same person I was before, it cannot be undone.
But, hey, that's just me...

I am recovered. I never close my mind to new revelations. And I don't know it all. "Knowing it all" would be horrible...I'd be bored stiff. New ideas, new experiences, new projects...that's how I'm stimulated every day. Because I don't drink, I am free to explore, learn, and do anything I want. I am free to actually live life.

Hmmmm, it seems we do agree that getting the blood pumping is a very good thing. Enjoy your workout. I will do the same running on the beach this evening.

"It is a few simple things that keep me in balance daily, when I do them in balance lol. Because I do these things I am able to maintain those other areas of my life, but most importantly I maintain my serenity and peace of mind."
Great understanding to retain and nurture as you go forward.
What you're describing is a life that works very well for an alcoholic over the long haul, and not drinking is definately part of that, but among the least of it's benefits.
