unexpected realization.

As I sit by the fire, sipping my green tea (ok, guzzling it, habit I suppose) and the rain and wind is ferocious outside, I was stuck with a pleasant realization. I don't hate myself. In fact, I think I am actually pretty alright. When I was drinking, I absolutely hated myself, every day. This seems stupid, but its nice to actually feel okay with myself.

Fantastic post! I've actually had this exact realization myself recently. It's a strange, wonderful unexpected perk of sobriety, isn't it? For me it was kind of uncomfortable at first but I find I'm looking it more & more each day. I hope you are too.

Thanks, Lost.
