I'm sitting here in my office.The sun is out.There is this beautiful tree with flaming red leaves outside my window.The sun is hitting it and casting this red glow on my wall.It is breathtaking and my clients /staff walk in here and go wow!Never woulda noticed/appreciated this in days of past liquid/non liquid chemical induced state.

"And my  partying associates were not friends.Today my highs are cardio class,music"... yeah me too or I can now say that..

I miss weed occasionally, but forgot about it quite frankly.  It's just another thing that made me unsociable and hungry.  Booze I can't forget; the BEAST is too powerful and unforgiving.  Ugly too...

I totally agree!  I did the same, I guess I said it differently.  ' i liked the way it made me feel '  Because I couldn't stand living in my own skin.

I hope I didn't offend you, I am new in this forum and try to be pretty generic in what I say. I like to get to know everyone and visa versa. These types of forums can be a powerful source of support.

I have gone through different phases in my recovery and at times would be turned off by different things.   Today I have 4 months clean and sober using AA.  I in the past I had 10 years sober, in AA. ( but, didn't work the program as suggested.  So I crashed)  I then tried Rational Recovery, church etc... None of them worked for me, so I decided to give AA a try again, as my alternative was rapidly becoming 6 feet under.

I drank/drugged because I did not like reality!I created my own unreal reality in a drunken/drugged haze!There is an acronym for SOBER......SonOfa BitchEverythingsReal!But in the end i felt like a clogged sewer...took too much to get high and the good feelings were gone.No matter how hard i chased and tried to find them they were gone!And my  partying associates were not friends.Today my highs are cardio class,music,my retired greyhounds, my rescued cats and good friends.And spending what time there is left with my 89 year old mother.The simple things of life!
