The Hard Life=Blessing
>> Tuesday, August 24, 2010
I saw Dr. Smith today (chemical dependency counselor) and after we talked I realized that I had done and was doing the things that were so important to me to get back; things that narcotics had made difficult or impossible. I had been able to be there for Gina when she was going through that bad week. I also gave decent advice, I feel. I had gotten my friends out for a night on the town and had had a blast, even getting asked out. Those things would never have happened while I was on narcotics.
NOTE TO SELF: You don’t want to exchange this drug-free life for anything. The times when it’s tough are temporary. The straight-edge fun and freedom is forever.
