A life in progress … sans alcohol. June 25, 2014. Life seems different to me now. When I take my daily walk to visit my plant friends, listening to the sweet and humorous sounds of my son’s new words bubbling up from the stroller in front of me, I notice the vast quantities of life around me. There is life everywhere and it all seems so. To me now. Where was all of this life before? How did I miss it? Those leaves. Wow.”. June 24, 2014. June 24, 2014. All of these things feed the soil of my sobriety so t...

A life in progress … sans alcohol. The Importance of the Bubble. October 28, 2014. When I first got sober it was crucial to develop and maintain a “sober bubble” to live inside until I felt safe. This bubble has been talked about in depth by many other people, but it has become a very important concept for me during my 439 (! Days sober, so I wanted to touch on it a bit here. Does doing this “thing” make me happy? Then yes. If not, then no. Simple, right? Recovery, and Life, and Hello. October 1, 2014.

https://thesoberistblog.com/2015/04/02/595-days
A life in progress … sans alcohol. April 2, 2015. April 2, 2015. I have stopped comparing my life with the lives of others, at least somewhat. I used to feel crippled by those kinds of thoughts, from the time that I was quite young; I think it started in junior high school and I never really stopped. Maybe because I started drinking at age 14? 20 thoughts on “ 595 Days. April 2, 2015 at 1:52 pm. Reading this fills me with such joy. Bravo, you. Thank you for the inspiration.

A life in progress … sans alcohol. June 1, 2015. I feel like my story is wide open. Instead of being a victim of the shitty circumstances of my life, I am the creator of a beautiful life. It’s all in perspective, and time, and healing the old wounds that drinking simply covered up or exacerbated for years and years. Again, it is not perfect by any means, but so much different and better than I could have imagined. May 14, 2015. April 2, 2015. April 2, 2015. March 2, 2015. March 2, 2015. I have a criminal...

A life in progress … sans alcohol. December 10, 2014. December 10, 2014. These things cannot be looked at too closely or they will fall apart. If I let myself look at the big picture or think about them too much I will panic and shut them down. My inner monologue goes something like this, “There is no way I will ever do this correctly so why even try? What is the point of life anyway? Why do humans do so many pointless things?

A life in progress … sans alcohol. May 14, 2015. I used to worry constantly that I was missing out on something. In fact, I often drank to help numb the feeling that I was missing all of the cool happenings with the fun people of the world. I felt like everyone was out living amazing lives while I was sitting home feeling sad and alone, so why not drink? A New Story →. 11 thoughts on “ Nostalgia. May 14, 2015 at 4:05 pm.

A life in progress … sans alcohol. November 20, 2014. November 20, 2014. This week has been hard. I’ve been holding onto my sobriety with a tight grip, knowing that drinking won’t do anything good, but desiring the fade out and numbing of my feelings that drinking would provide. Epiphanies, small and large, have been coming one after another, along with a lot of self doubt and uncertainty that I am on the right path. They have to weep and self destruct! There are some truths to these words, in these thou...
