Today I got up and rode my bike over to the eye doctors, and I was finally able to "see" what the extent of my problems are. I found out that I have a stigmatism and that I am near sighted. To me, that equates to my eyes are not as good as they used to be and I need glasses. One blessing to getting my eyes checked out was that the doctor found something embedded in one of my eyes and therefore is going to remove it tomorrow. I had no idea because I can't feel anything and I don't believe that it is affecting my vision.
The whole experience enabled me to recognize how I am able to focus on the ailments of my body that I wasn't aware of, or even cared to face, while I was drinking. Today, I am able to spend my money on things that will give me a chance at a better life rather than wasting my money on something that does nothing but kill me. I am granted the opportunity to stay sober and focus on my health and for that I am grateful. God has freed me from my active obsession of drinking and drugging, and I am excited to be a part of this new life that I have. Living sober is a journey and I do not want the journey to end.
