The little things... It really it the little things that I'm finding so nice in sobriety... This morning I went out for a pre-dawn run, and the star-lit sky was so unusually beautiful that it made me stop and pause. A Cheshire cat grinning crescent moon, with Venus overhead, and beautiful, almost otherworldly clouds swirling. I had to acknowledge the simple fact that a year ago this would have been lost on me, because I would have been passed out on the couch. I'm in the process of moving to a new house, and unlike moves in the past (I move a lot...nomad feelings in my blood), I am not reeling with anxiety and frustration. I can attack the move with plans in place, and a calm conviction. Because I'm sober. The list goes on and on, as I'm sure it does for many of you as well. Just wanted to share to my sober community. :grouphug: |
It sounds like you have a lot of gratitude. :) Good luck with your move! |
It really is the little things in life that give me such delight. Like watching my dogs sniff a scent on our walks. :) The drinking me was always too drunk or too sick to walk the dogs. Not any more! :) They get regular walks and the exercise and fresh air and sunshine do us all a world of good. :) |
Thanks for sharing that tnek - have a good weekend. D |
