For a long time I felt like I had to explain the reasons behind my sobriety, maybe to excuse it? The thing is I don’t, none of us do. I made my choice for me, no one else. It’s not like I can’t drink, because I can. I just choose not to, and my mind and my body are grateful for that. I’m happier, calmer and freer than I ever was when I was drinking. So be proud of your choice, because it’s an amazing thing to go against the grain and be a little bit different from what society expects.
