I came to understand the real point of the exercise is the learning.

Thank you for this piece. It amazes me how much this journey of recovery is just that- the journey. I’ve been on it for 30 years- not all of them sober…many even worse in a dry drunk state. As we say “some are sicker than others”. But I’m enjoying a stretch of serenity right now knowing it’s better to be present than absent. Enjoy your Friday and all it brings.
