I would like to thank the folks supporting me first off. I had a good birthday. Got to spend it with my family and that was what was most important to me.
Well, here is a little of what has been going through my head:
- The longer I am sober, the more natural this way of life seems.
- My old drinking life was a very unhealthy way of living.
- In my present, sober life seems like the greatest way to live.
- While in the early years of my drinking, life wasn't so different from the lives my so called friends were living. But as we gradually became problem drinkers, our lives became more and more unhealthy.
- I realize now that the things I did then were very unhealthy. When I was drinking, I was living an unnatural life physically and mentally. I was very hard on my body loading it with alcohol. I didn't eat sometimes for days, and when I did eat it was fast food or junk food. I would stay up as long as I could drinking or until I ran out... making myself drained of all the energy I would need to work.
Again, thanks for the tugs on my wagon while I work my way through this newly found insightfulness.
