One Month, and no dock tape
Midnight tonight and I hit one month. I might even set my alarm clock to wake up a scream at the top of my lungs, yay!
Humour aside, I feel like my sobriety is not holding together with dock tape this time. What's different? I don't take stressful situations the same way anymore.
I realize also that a lot of the stress was self caused, by wanting to perform and excel at work and home, trying to control what I couldn't, constantly waiting for something to be happy, setting unreasonable self expectations etc.
I decided that waking up alive, having food and a roof over my head are the only important things, because when I die, I'm not bringing anything with me anyway. So might as well be happy, live for the now, cruise along my life sober, and take time to smell the flowers along the way.
Have a great day everyone, and never forget, life is beautiful when looked at trough sober eyes.
Rock on!
