Sobriety Is Exciting

AROUND THE TABLES, life becomes more exciting each passing twenty-four hours without the first drink. I smile or laugh aloud today when I reflect back on my early fear that life would become a bore without drinking. Instead, every day zings with excitement. Just the novelty of letting go of old ideas keeps me amused. Each time an old one goes, there's a rush of new and interesting ideas to take its place. Old ideas come in many forms, including people, places, and things. The whole thinking process changes.
