Moments of bliss / Who thought it was possible? Beautiful moments without alcohol.
Hello beautiful people. Since I quit alcohol, you can read my adventures with the golden liquor here https://gopeet.medium.com/my-story-with-alcohol-the-point-i-decided-to-quit-ae336341b6be
I experienced a lot of new feelings and emotions, that were dumbed down by alcohol all the time. Let me share some of the beautiful ones with you.
I am driving in my car hearing some music. Driving through a crossover. There is nothing special about this crossroad, there is a little construction side and a gas station. It is a spot as boring as it gets. But there it is:
All of a sudden time stands still. The surroundings become very colorful and vivid. Everything seems to line up, the music is perfect, the amount of sun is perfect. My whole body is getting light and warm. The feeling is overwhelming and beautiful. I just enjoy it. It goes as fast as it came. I breathe in and out deeply and continue with my day.
The next situation comes up out of nowhere too.
I am at home preparing some beetrout salad for a barbecue. It is a Sunday. A song of Billy Whiters is playing in the background. The window is slightly open, I look down at the floor and see a bit of dirt on it. I decide to sweep the floor and there it is:
Time stands still again, its like I am in another universe. Everything becomes surreal beautiful. I just feel freedom and gratefulness, knowing deeply this is going to be a great day. I close my eyes to let the feeling sink in but it goes as fast as it came.
Lets jump to the next spot:
I take a walk with my girl in the woods. We are walking on a small path, it is evening time, it gets darker and colder. To my right there is a wood of young trees.
There it is again. Something is attracting me to this trees and the whole picture. All of a sudden I just stop to walk, turn around to the trees and look at them. It is such a perfect picture. Its like I am a bit on a trip. Time stands still again, everything is lining up in one moment. I close my eyes, open my chest and just breathe. The air is so fresh, it is like the trees are playing with my face. In some seconds it is over “back to normal”.
Sobriety brought me some stressy and boring feelings. That is why I am pointing out some great moments . I could never imagine experiences like that were possible without substances. As my journey continues I will share some of them with you.
