I can't remember the last time I spent a couple of anxiety filled days in bed because of doing something extremely stupid. (lemmy.ca)

I mean, I still do some stupid and brainless things but I can own that stuff without fear.

The absolute worst is only being able to half-remember most of the stupid shit I did. That stuff still kinda haunts me, but in some ways, that is a necessary evil of sobriety.

This was just a random thought that I needed to write. Maybe it gives someone else something to hope for. Maybe it reminds others of why we choose not to drink. Regardless: IWNDWYT
