Empty rum bottle and meth drawings
Last night I was going through my closet and I found an empty liquor bottle. For some reason, it really bothered me. I wanted to cry. I guess it reminded me of September. That's when I was drinking every day again. I also stumbled across some drawings I did while high on meth. I started remembering how horrible and miserable that time in my life was. I'm grateful to be sober. 
I don't have to live like that ever again!

while they may have evoked a sadness and an emotional response... also they seem to have been gifts. Reminders of why you have chosen sobriety and how cherished it is.
They've also been gifts to me, so thank you for sharing and helping me stay sober today.

That reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Peter and Louis were in a band and they were constantly smoking weed, and to them their music was fantastic. When they sobered up, they realized it was terrible haha. It's amazing how "real" life is when we take off the intoxication glasses

Sometimes it is nice to be reminded how far along the road you are and what it is that you have left miles behind. It can also be a good reminder to us how great the sober life is and is something we should never take for granted.

I COMPLETELY understand! I found an empty nip bottle while cleaning out a cupboard yesterday and although I was sad about it, I was also proud that I am no longer living that life. Keep going, it only gets better!!! Congrats on 1 month!
