Hello Brettk and thank you for sharing. I completely encourage you to follow your highest calling and fully support you in sobriety.
And it gets even better. Trust me. Better yet, trust your Higher Power.
I have been sober since I was 16 years old. When I say that a lot of people say disrespectful things like, "please, I spilled more than you drank."
Some think I'm so courageous, lucky, or smart, to have gotten sober so young. That's just inaccurate because I didn't stop drinking because I thought it was a good idea. I stopped because I saw that I needed spiritual help and there were absolutely no other options.
I don't try to explain alcoholism to people, but I do know that living my life by spiritual principles have given me things, feelings, characteristics, relationships, and a newfound respect that I couldn't even think of in my wildest dreams of drinking.
I'm not kidding. Couldn't even think of in my wildest dreams.
It's great to hear that you are enjoying sobriety.
It's also great to be in a place where we are not judged or glorified for drinking or not drinking.
