Where Does This Notion Come From That Once We Get Sober Everything Is Going To Be Right In The World?

It’s not.

It never was. Or maybe it always has been because imperfection IS perfect.

Regardless. We alcoholics missed out on a lot of the drama because we were too busy creating our own by getting drunk.

Life, people, complications at work, our feelings – they come in at us like a tsunami during sobriety whether we’re ready for them or not. I’ve discovered it’s best just to man-handle one thing at a time in order of what’s most important to me. There are some things I just can’t juggle.
