This is also known as being "Sober". No one said being sober was easy, it's just a lot fucking better than drinking. I'm reminded of this prospect quite often. When I first sobered up, a man in Alcoholics Anonymous who later became my sponsor once told me "You know what sober stands for right?" I responded, "No." "Son of a bitch everything's real".
This was said to me at a time when I was really rough. I had a lot of frustration and anger from my life spiraling out of control. I was struggling with emotion for the first time in a long while. I was having feelings I had never experienced before. When he said that it became one of those moments when, I realized my life had become unmanageable. I needed to give up, just to a higher power... not suicide which until then was a real possibility.
This blog will become a story of my experiences in sobriety. Handling death, divorce, and lack of drugs and alcohol. This would also be known to most as life. Sit down, strap on a seat belt and hold on to your ass less chaps.... this is going to be a wild ass ride.
