Sober in my 20's, Is My Life Over Or Just Beginning?

That was the question that haunted me like nothing I had ever feared before. All of my friends drink and party. What will I possibly do when they are out having fun? Do I really need to make a decision to have a social life or stay clean and sober?

Well, it has been almost 4 years in sobriety and I have not shriveled up or become Captain AA. Actually, my life is better in every aspect possible thanks to the fellowship and a whole bunch of willingness on my part.

The fact is that I don't have to focus on being sober the rest of my life because the only thing that matters is right now. As cliche as that sounds, it works.

“How do you know if you don't give it a try?”

Now I know that question could be taken many different ways, but if you were standing where I was when I first got sober then you have already tried every possible concoction of substances and have already drowned every feeling you had with a nice bottle of whatever.

Now is the time to find some solution that will last. For info on how to get sober or if you have any questions just give me a call at SOBA Recovery Center. I know how you feel because I have been there.

Stop existing and start living!
