I Am New Here, Are You?

I quit alcohol and woke up from a dream and now I feel new here. I am new here. Are you?

I’ve come to find that this experience of feeling new after giving up booze is not at all unique, not only because so many others have given up alcohol or drugs and feel new too, but because we are new every minute and moment and every day.

Not to mention that we are new when we go through any kind of change and shift: becoming a parent, getting divorced or married, moving across the country, living through 2020, starting a new career, starting or ending anything.

We can relate to each other in many a ways, and that includes our newness.
