“I just feel like I've had that adventure, you know, that, like, my addiction adventure. And honestly, there were some fun moments along the way, you know, but there was also, like, so much terrible shit. But it's, I think for me today, like, I think what's helped me with my sobriety today is it's just knowing that, like, I've lived that adventure and I've never really lived the being present sober adventure, and it's like, what you touched on earlier with, like, being able to experience music, um, sober or, for me, more recently, like the snorkelling or even last night at sober sessions, like, being fully present, like, that's, it's kind of weird to say, but that is like a drug in itself to be fully present. - Richie Wall”
