I hit the last month in my three years of sobriety as spring is in the air and we are finally finally finally turning the corner with this horrid pandemic. I remain eternally grateful to SR for being my sole resource, outside of my self, in achieving permanent sobriety. And as I sit here tonight will a full, full plate of life before me, I feel grateful for the freedom sobriety has given me to work on the things that actually matter in my life. It's strangely similar to how I feel about the pandemic lockdowns fading - it's just the freedom to get back to work. But that freedom is something that I took for granted before the lockdowns. And it's a freedom I never experienced during my decades of being a drunk. It's the gift to show up in the morning; to confront my internal and external obstacles; to take care of my obligations; to care for my self and those I'm tasked with caring for.

The freedom to chop wood and carry water. It's clean, simple and empowering. And it's time, again, to get to work.

Freedom from alcohol is Freedom indeed! I have never enjoyed my life more than I have being sober.

Congrats on three years sober and thanks for the inspiration.

Great post, LG. I think a lot of us are more appreciative of what we used to take for granted.

Great post, Less, as always. 'The freedom to chop wood and carry water' is such an apt sentiment.
