Just wanted to write a few paragraphs about the difficulties of being young and being in recovery. It is difficult, to be in your 20's and comprehend never having a drink again. Never being able to have champagne at a wedding, or never drink a beer while watching a football game. I have heard over and over again that young adults are fearful that they will never have fun in recovery. Luckily, that is not the case.
The reality is, the younger the better. Think of all the possibilities and achievements that can be accomplished if we don't waste our youth getting drunk. If we learn to lean on God, to be respectful to ourselves and others, and to have faith. The possibilities are literally endless.
The trick is (speaking only for myself) to not think about it too hard. I don't think about the weddings until they arrive. I don't think about all the drunken celebrations I will miss out on, I just think about getting through the day without a drink. That seems to have been working well for me so far. If your young, and your beginning your journey in recovery, just remember that you have the whole world at your disposal. You are the master of your domain. The world is yours!!!
