it takes some time to get your marbles back;
then a bit more to get to use them again.
i would be lying if i said the past 4 years have been great.
there have been many flat spots, temptations and frustrations.
were my worst days sober, better than my best days drinking?
absolutely not.
my average days sober were better than my average days using.
what is good, is that i'm able to socialize without discomfort
or fear.
I enjoy holidays and parties with a mix of people.
my life is balanced, contented and organized.
i have little interest today in sober dances, NA conventions
or other restricted activities.
I live in a society of drinkers and non-drinkers;
today i prefer to allow myself the company of both.

oh but you have to. have a mixture of both. life is about balances and life should be balanced too. in the beginning stay away, it's hard, it's tempting. but somewhere along the line, full integration in society is a must, otherwise recovery is not recover....
