Alcohol Is The Devil Hiding In Plain Sight
And it takes complete abstinence to be able to see it.
I’m at the point now where I think people who have had a problem with alcohol to the point they have had to give it up completely are the lucky ones.
We are the ones who have escaped.
It's the people who drink regularly and don’t think they have a problem who are the unlucky ones.
In 10 months of sobriety, not only have I witnessed almost every aspect of my life improve, but I’ve also become more and more astounded how alcohol has such a stronghold on society.
The poison is so embedded, so normalised that the mainstay of society views people who choose to not drink as a bit weird.
One of my friends after reading my 6-months of sobriety blog commented ‘I like how you have focused on what you have gained and not what you have lost’
What have I lost? I must ask her sometime what she thinks I have lost.
Well actually, I know what I have lost.
I’ve lost hangovers
I’ve lost shame
I’ve lost weight
I’ve lost hangxiety
