On August 8th, I celebrated thirteen years sober. I am a completely different person than I was thirteen years ago, as I'm sure many of us are. For me, it was back then that I chose to live a more conscious life and allow myself to be vulnerable enough to know that I had a lot to learn. I do not want to live an unconscious life where I don't deal with uncomfortable feelings, and that is the path I was on. I was on a path to the darkness, and now I find myself in the light. I choose to live a life where if something causes problems in my life, I change it. I want to fully experience an awesome life, and for me, that is a sober life. I hope you choose to live your best life too.
