If I was drunk right now, I’d be so content in my head right now. All the problems in the world would surround me, and I wouldn’t be worrying about any of them. Self-doubt, wouldn’t care. Lonely, wouldn’t care. Possibly no job, wouldn’t care.
Content is the key word here though.
Sober me is sitting here, same contemplations with my problems, my faults.
My failures. I’m NOT content with them anymore.
Sober me is addressing the issues. Doing something about them as I can. If I can’t do anything about it immediately, I’m thinking, planning how I’m going to make things better.
I AM depressed, I DO have issues. But I’m not hiding from them anymore. Nor do I feel I can’t make any change I need to in my life to overcome these things. I love this feeling. I love recovery.

Awesome realization bro. Life is super weird without our vices, but it’s definitely easier to navigate and to come up in the world!
When you’re not drunk work on those things , one at a time. The thoughts will start to get better over time. Love yourself and remember, everyone deserves a good life no matter what you’ve done…..
