Cheap Sunglasses! Sober but BLIND!

I get back from Mexico after celebrating my 50th birthday and one year of sobriety and I still have red, puffy eyes even though I am not drinking. I connect the dots to cheap Amazon sunglasses, test the theory in real time, and realize I may have been damaging my vision for years. • celebrating one year sober and turning 50 in Mexico • noticing eye puffiness and redness without alcohol • tracing symptoms and fast vision decline to bargain polarized sunglasses • running a simple resort test without glasses then with them • feeling immediate burning and panic over possible eye damage • trying to warn friends I gave the sunglasses to • committing to better eye protection and accepting the cost • reflecting on sobriety as clarity and accountability To all my friends and familia in Mexico. I fucking love you guys.We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
