as a recovering alcoholic I am so tired of people saying that abstinence is not living. Like... you can't enjoy life sober? And what am I suppose to do with a statement like that? Seems very unaware thing to shout into the ether (my uncle invented the ethernet)

Yeah. I've never been an alcoholic myself, but my aunt was for many years and she has the most full life of anyone I know

Happy for you that you were able to kick the addiction, all the best for you. You can definitely enjoy life sober
