The gift of presence. I just... that's always a continuous practice being present. But at the same time, my mind isn't... I'm not here while my mind is over there thinking about when I'm going to get the next drink or what this situation is stop interfering with my drinking. And even when that all passes, that isn't a feature in my day anymore. It actually stopping alcohol has given me the gift of doing all of this work and doing other things that make me more present. So yeah, that's it I would say. It's the gift of presence, isn't it?
