Sobriety...

Happy 4th sobriety anniversary!

One year later from the cleaning up, she was shocked to find that she could still have a really fun time without getting drunk. She filled her time with fun events and projects. Worked on perfecting her art and completed lots of personal art pieces. 
In short, Kat found that being sober allowed  her to stop wasting time and get more things done.  Something crucial for a workaholic like her.

I wasn't a good friend, girlfriend, boss, coworker, sister or daughter - how could I have been? Living in a constant drunken blur in order to not to cope with what all the issues looming over me felt like the perfect escape form me. And when you are as wasted as I was, who else could I have been thinking about- other than myself?
