The quality of experience
Thank you, lessgravity. A beautiful post.
I still shudder sometimes to think about my past, but less and less often. It *is* important to think about, but not in a blaming way. With reflection (at first, guided by someone more sober than I), I try to understand what kind of person I used to be, and psychologically why I made the choices I did: drugs, drinking, other things that damaged me for decades, and hurt those around me. I learned things about people that help me do better.
I believe that nothing is wasted. All those experiences, some horrible, were needed to develop this self that I have now, which is all it could possibly be. '
'xcept, I maybe could have been rich if I hadn't been such a drunk.

I value my sobriety over all else cause if it weren't for being sober, I'd be living a very different, and not very nice, life.
Thanks to sobriety and gratitude, my life today is serene, for the most part, and free of drama. I'm also finding joy in simple things, like waking up sober each day. When I wake up and my little dog is beside me, I feel like the world is my oyster. My needs are simple and my wants are few.
