This is what’s keeping me sober today.

Posted by Sober Tony on June 19, 2020 4 Comments

The balance of beer and everything else I love in life.

I’m thinking about how the “obsession with drinking” outweighs everything else I love in life.

When I’m chasing my next drink – nothing else makes me happy.

When I’m plotting my next binge – nothing else feels important.

It’s a terrible way to live, always thirsty for something that can’t satisfy my thirst.

Today, I choose everything else that makes me happy.
