gm, when we get sober we can shoot ourselves in the foot. also we're not comfortable with a positive accomplishment. the reason being, when we drank our lives were full of drama and chaos. we get to the point that we become used to it living that way. when i first got sober my T asked me, how are you doing? i responded, i'm bored. he said welcome to the world!!
stay the course, gm. you are a winner as long as you stay sober and life will take on a new meaning.
