      This year, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for my sobriety.

      It's been one heckuva year. A lot has happened, some really great for me, but a lot sorta crappy or at least totally unexpected.

      The one thing I think about often is how unworkable this year would've been for me if I was still drinking. First, I wouldn't be where I am.

      Second, I would've fucked up so many things — or made so many of them so much worse — with my drinking.

          Third, all of you, both my IRL friends (if I still had any) and folks online, would've had to deal with a drunk Chris. Which could be awful.

          Instead, though, I am here — sober for 77 months this weekend and living a life unlike any I ever could have imagined.

          More than not being unworkable, my sobriety made this year much more workable. Did I still get stressed and act like a dick at times? Yes.

          I'm still human, so that will always be the case! But, my sobriety gave me some insight—into not judging others' motivations & into myself.

          As to others: My sobriety has taught me that we have no clue what's going on in someone else's head. Too much happened to get them here.

          As to me: My sobriety has taught me that I must accept that there are limits to what I can do. That many, many things are out of my control.

          That one is still hard for me, but — when I remember it — it makes everything go much more smoothly for me.

          When going through a year like this one has been, admitting I don't know others' motivations & understanding my own limits has been a gift.

          Those were ~not~ skills I had or employed when I was drinking, so I'm very grateful and thankful that I've learned those things since.

          I still don't employ them perfectly. It's a life-long process, living well. But, here I am, further along than before & so grateful for it.
