We've had a lot of snow this year.  A lot.  This is more snow than I remember in my adulthood. 

Snow days were scary days for me before.  If I was snowed in and stuck at home, like I have been many many times this year... I would have to begin to detox.  Scary.  I would have ventured out for alcohol if at all possible.  I would have moved mountains of snow... literally.  I would have shoveled and shoveled until my heart was jack hammering out of my chest.  I would have braved the icy roads like those guys on ice road truckers... all in the name of addiction.  As if it isn't deadly enough - I risked my life many many times for more alcohol.  In many ways, and this was the worst way.

I'm glad I'm safe and warm in my home today, not feeling the excruciating anxiety and shaking like I have magic jumping beans inside of me.

Sobriety is awesome.  I'm so free, as I sit here confined to my home, and I love it!  Thank you all for helping me to get here, and show me a HP of your understanding : )
