Tonight was such a good night. I figured the alumni meeting would be smaller because of Halloween, but there was actually a pretty good turnout. We talked about burnout and how important it is to keep a healthy balance of activities in our lives.
After the meeting I went over to the Fellowship Hall for the Halloween party. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being so much fun. A friend was the DJ, there was a dance floor, snacks, and lots of people just hanging out and talking. It felt good to see that many people in recovery having a good time, laughing and dancing, and not needing anything to loosen up.
It’s kind of wild to think about how I used to believe fun like that wasn’t possible without drinking. Now it’s even better. No one’s wasted, no one’s throwing up or crying in the bathroom. Everyone’s just there and present We all get to remember it tomorrow, and no one has to wake up feeling like shit.
Now I’m home, tucked in bed with Miss Poppy Mae. I’m smiling, and I’m exhausted. Grateful for sobriety. Grateful for the people I get to walk this road with. Grateful that life really can be good like this.
