      It's a change that can make me appear awkward at times; I respond "maybe" to parties & sometimes don't show. I do what I need to do for me.

      But, that's a small thing, that most often makes me proud that I take this, and improving my life, seriously. Most of the time, it's great.

      I am more honest, open, & able to be me with my family & loved ones -- & have met even more people who are great & have come into my life.

      Honestly, most of the time, I have more fun -- bc I'm focused on having fun, not getting drunk. I've had many ridiculously fun nights sober.

      It has been a huge change in my life, for the better, solely by not ingesting something that was causing me so much pain. Seems obvious now.

      And yet, it took a long while for me to get there. A lot of time in which I treated a lot of people very poorly. But, here we are today.

      This is my fifth holiday season sober; I just spent a week w/ my family, incl. a nephew who I adore; & I wouldn't have it any other way.

      I've had an amazing past 5 years, & I can't say it's *all* bc I got sober, but I know it would be a lot worse if I wasn't. A lot.

      None of this is to say I'm opposed to others drinking. I still have amazing nights, when I'm feeling it, out w friends who are drinking.

      But, for some people, it doesn't work. & I am most certainly one of those people. So, I'm sober -- & I think I'm much better this way.

          In any event, it's 2:30, so, bar closing time back in Columbus, where I did much of my damage, and DC, where I quit, so ... here we are.

          Twitter has known me back when I was still drinking, tho v few of you were following me back then. But, among them were some sober people.

          Really, tho, all of Twitter has been a part of my getting sober bc you've been here when I just needed to chat. You're always here. Thanks.

          With that, I'm going to wrap this up, say again how grateful I am that I am sober today, and close w/: Night, all, & be good to one another.

          Last night, I tweeted about the fact that I'm sober today & have been for 4.5 years. Scroll to the beginning of this thread to read more.
