If it doesn't kill you, it'll still kill You....
If it doesn't kill you, it'll still kill You....
I spent a lot of years "trying".
I spent a lot of time debating.
I was "on the fence".
I was "moderating".
I was never "THAT bad".....
Alcohol never killed me.
Looking back from a hill of sobriety several years down the sober road, I can see something important; it killed Me.
All those years as I drank and thought I was 'living it up' - I was actually dead.
The ME that is true and present and authentic and full was dead. My Soul of Self was entombed.
Alcohol didn't kill me.... but it killed ME.
Without alcohol, I'm alive. I am present and joyful and free and productive. I am trustworthy and authentic and faithful and giving. I am aware and loving and supportive and rich with ideas and activities that bring positive outcomes to the world.
I'm glad I'm not dead anymore.
Here's hoping you also come to Life.

Beautifully put FO.
I couldn't agree more. These last couple sober stretches and the final one I've entered into - it's clear I don't even know who I am as a sober man. So much of being a drunk too all of my might and energy and focus, money, time, passion, etc - I am looking forward to being on the sober hill you describe - very much like that image.
Thanks for the post.
