Sometimes I’m truly just grateful for one simple aspect of having my entire life clean and sober from all addictions. I don’t wake up hungover anymore…
Hungover from binging on alcohol…
Hungover from binging on drugs…
Hungover from binging on food…
Hungover from binging on watching porn…
Hungover from having some form of anonymous sex…
Hungover from acts of violence and rage…
Hungover from overly spending money on things I didn’t need…
Hungover from losing money from gambling…
Hungover from severe acts of codependency with another…
Hungover from acts of deception, lying, stealing and the like…
Hungover from anything…
Loathing myself…
Feeling disgusted…
Despising the sunlight and chirping birds…
Wanting to throw up…
Having headaches…
Hating my life…
Crying and feeling depressed…
Heart racing with anxiety…
Fear and negativity gripping many parts of me…
As I struggle to start the day…
I thank my Higher Power I’m not waking up and dealing with any of this anymore.
It seems that a life led more by my Higher Power than by me has guided me to a life free from not just one addiction, but all addictions. And having a life now free from all addictions has really led to so many new and wonderful things, even as simple as not waking up each day hungover and feeling truly uncomfortable in my own skin…
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
