LOVE this reality - YES - I do remember having fun and feeling wonder with no alcohol, no substances - just me. Just being. Connecting with other people, exploring the world, taking walks, laughing at a cat in the bushes. I didn't think those things would ever come back - and now, with some solid sober time, they have - they do - wonder and fun and being present for all of it. Thanks for this - a great reminder of what is possible - what never goes away - what is there for us if we're open to it.
