How Living Life Sober Can Change Your Life
How living life sober can change your life is the one million dollars question to those that are addicted to alcohol. In the alcoholics mind, living life sober is really not in their minds or in their vocabulary.
The alcoholics are set in their ways and in their lifestyle wondering when can I have the next drink or I can't wait for that next drink. They seem to only have alcohol on their minds and whatever they may do it has to involve alcohol or they will not be included in whatever the function, celebration, party is because the party is dry and alcohol free.
I certainly can relate to the statement above because the minute I was invited to any function the first words out of my mouth was is there going to be alcohol. Yes, I would ask that question before I gave a yes or no answer to the invite. Now, looking back on those days it was selfish to ever ask such a thing to anyone.
Why is that? The problem with alcoholics is that they think the whole world revolves around alcohol and they feel with out the alcohol they would not be able to function or be social in an type of a party or function they were invited to.

Having Fun Just Being Sober
Anyone can have fun without having the alcohol demons tagging alone with you. Do you really need that crutch? Think about it and ask yourself, " do you think you can survive on this earth without alcohol?" The alcoholic may answer that by saying no, I truly am afraid to live without my alcohol and I do wonder how I would get alone and manage my life without it.
I felt that sense of being afraid I would not be able to get alone in live without my alcohol helping me along, but once I surrender to my demons I realize I had wasted all those precious years bringing my demons everywhere I went. I realize I didn't need them at all, but I was so addicted and in love with the addiction that would eventually kill me or someone else.
