Life is Better

from Tiny Bubbles: Recovery Inspiration

When I quit drinking in 2011, I thought life after alcohol would be glum and boring. I thought the work of sobriety was learning to tolerate a life sentence of abstinence form alcohol. Boy was I wrong. Life is better! What a happy surprise! Sobriety doesn't guarantee happiness. It takes effort to learn new patterns and habits, and life is not always perfect because, well, it's life. But breaking free of alcohol's grip on life creates so much extra space and time to fill with other things! Sobriety creates space for recovery, which means healing those underlying reasons for drinking in the first place.
