Life Is Meant to Be Lived

When some of my foggy thinking began to clear in the early days of my sobriety, I realized how often I had drunk to escape the realities of life. As a result, I worked hard at facing my alcoholism head-on, practicing the Steps, and convincing myself that I was, at long last, on a journey of discovery. It was exciting to think I could become a learning, growing, changing person, accepting my limitations, somehow finding the courage to seek a personal honesty for the first time.
