enjoying recovery

my initial thought when starting
recovery was that i would not be
able to have fun in sobriety.

having had many memorable times
during my social drinking days, i
was convinced i couldn't be finny,
relaxed and sociable when sober.

it's taken some time, but i've
realized i don't need to be buzzed
to enjoy myself and the company
of others.

sure, i still miss some aspects of
the party life, but today i accept
the fact that those days are gone.

now i can be alert, present and
comfortable around people
without any type of crutch.

I think this is one of the problems that my husband has. He can not imagine that life can be enjoyable without it. If he only knew.
