Sober living

What life used to be like...what life could be like...should be like...
What life really is like and how to keep on going forward despite all the consequences of our addiction, dysfunctional family,kids going through what we went through. Accepting life on life's terms, learning how to like oneself.
Doing the next best right thing at the very least. Learning to live alone. Making new boundaries to live by. Irrational thinking...just an old pattern now utterly useless to us. Although it surely was that way long ago but we held on to it like it was a dear friend. All the things that we have to figure out about who we actually are and what we are all about. Sober living....it's very sobering.
