Letting Go The Chaos
Can life really be that simple?
I used to think happiness comes from entertainment, parties, drinking and from doing crazy things while intoxicated.
That appealed like the most worthwhile moments of happiness to me. I did not realize that it was all happiness from the outside.
Alcohol brought a lot of chaos in my life. Since ditching it, I have a total different life-experience. Everything is slower and simpler.
I really enjoy that.
Meanwhile, I really do believe real happiness comes from within. It doesn’t need to be complicated.
For me it is not about big parties, exotic vacations, getting intoxicated anymore.
Everything that seemed boring to me, seems like the perfect spending of time now.
Going to bed early, waking up early, doing the same things:
day by day — by day — by day……
Living in an environment like that just gives me the best possibility to be healthy and productive.
Simple stuff like going for a walk, or talking to a friend on the phone for an hour, does really make me happy now.
Finally, I know what I want, and that is not much. I just want to be free, healthy, have functioning relationships and some interests.
Everybody is different, I guess some people need way more travel, action and stuff to be happy. I just want to say: sobriety showed me what I really want, and it feels good to live on that terms. Trying to be the best possible person that is aligning with my values and interests. It finally seems realistic and possible for me to realize my potential.
That is about it for today my friends. Have a nice one!
