My New Sobriety : Day 365
Tomorrow (2009-03-16) marks my 1-year sober date, aka the first day of my second year of sobriety. I should probably write a big long post here, getting all deep and spiritual and philosophical but then I would end up having to promote the book on Oprah when she finally picks a true memoir to peddle on her show. But I will say this: life costs less when you’re sober. The time and money spent on illicit and ill-advised habits and pursuits may or may not go towards better things, but the potential is there, potential that was continuously sucked away in years past. I am sober now, proof in and of itself that anything is possible.
So now that ever-present barrier of intoxication is gone and everything is easier, cheaper, and more pleasant… even the hard things.
Especially the hard things.
