Grief in sobriety is such an odd thing to experience. In the past I would use substances to numb out the pain. This time around I am sitting and feeling all the emotions that come along with it and even though it hasn’t been easy I am grateful that I am actually present and going through all of the emotions I used to numb out before. I know the person I’ve lost would be proud of me. And I am grateful that she knew I was clean and sober before she passed because that is all she ever wanted. I’m going to keep making a living amends to her and cherish our friendship and memories we had.
