Small discoveries in my first few weeks of sobriety |
|
1. I get to be one of those privileged people who orders iced tea. 2. Taco Bell serves a really good iced tea. 3. I like waking up early. 4. My dog likes me! He really likes me! 5. So much easier to keep the house clean. 6. I'd missed my friends. 7. I'll be working on that first step for a while, I think. 8. I have some big challenges coming up, but with the program's and God's help, maybe I'll meet them.
:hi: have a sober day.

You're doing great. ;)
You'll discover more things as time passes.
My vision improved as I sobered up, and I started to see more color. While drinking, my world was mostly grey, with very little color.
and Yeah! Waking up( vs. coming to) is quite a treat.
Keep up the good work, Ellen!

2. Hi Ellen, from iced tea drinker to another. |

Welcome to our little corner of the internets.
We all learn to meet life's challenges a day at a time with the program.
Nice to meet you.

I can live a full day (including "helping" my son write a paper) and have enough energy left over to clean my bathroom!!11!
