Relaxing at home thinking about how the Jo from a couple years ago would be spending tonight. Out all night, blacked out, being unfaithful to my partner, puking then spending Thanksgiving hungover with extreme regret and shame. This year’s sober Jo is guaranteed to have self respect in tact and no regrets tomorrow. It might be a huge struggle to stay sober some days but you’ll never go to sleep thinking “I wish I had drank.” Feeling so grateful tonight. Have a great holiday everyone!

What you wrote you causes my stomach to churn to think I was having a good time only to wake up to myself and feel no better, only worst. Nevermind mind the hangover, I just drank more. Looking back now on the empty self would not trade misery then for the genuine happiness I feel now. Happy Thanksgiving.
