Sober. 
That means no Xanax for my anxiety.  No alcohol for, well, to drink so I am more comfortable.
Nothing.  
It was fun.  It was weird.  It scared me.  But it was good.
I remember the whole show.  I know I didn't make a fool of myself by being drunk.
And I felt bad for those who were falling down drunk.  And worried how they would get home safely.  
It was wierd.  Odd.  
Enlightening. 
Refreshing.
Empowering.
I am not my disease.  I am not my addiction.  
I deserve to live a full and happy and sober life.  I deserve to feel emotions.  
I am worth working to save.
And I am pretty sure my social anxiety never existed.  I thought I had it because I wanted a reason to drink.  Alcohol gave me social anxiety.
I thought it was my solution, but it was the beginning of my problems.
