10M ago1:22:53

1:22:53

I woke up with drinking on my mind. Not in the ‘I need a drink’ kind of way, but in the ‘wow, who was I when I drank, what was I hiding from, how did I survive myself, where did alcoholism start in my family…’ you know, the thoughts a lot of sober people have who are still shaking their heads, even after years of not drinking. When I talk about dri…

It was a perfect day to ponder. Single digits outside, warm and safe inside. Both my home and my heart were quiet, settled.
