Drunk vs sober

I was thinking of the many contrasts and thought I’d start a list that we can all add to. This should be fun.

• Numb vs feeling
• Embarrassed vs proud
• Present vs absent
• Dying vs living
• Self centered vs loving
• Head ache vs clear head
• Red eyes vs clear eyes
• Sad vs happy
• Numb vs nervous
• Buzzed vs natural high
• Bloated vs slim
• Way out of control vs very controlled
• Stumbling vs waking
• Terrible role model vs great role model
• Anxious vs calm
• Worried vs relaxed
• DUI vs sober driving
• Lazy vs fit
• Fast food or no food vs cooking at home
• Drinking vs painting
• Hungover vs working out
• In bed all day vs being an early riser
• Self loathing vs blogging
• Going to bed too drunk to do it vs self care at night
• Passing out vs brushing my teeth and washing my face
• Falling asleep fully dressed, shoes and all vs sleeping in my beautiful pjs
• Puking on myself vs a nice end to the evening
• Sleeping hugging the toilet vs sleeping in my very comfy bed hugging my hubby
• Avoiding people vs facing them
• Pounding head in bed vs early walks with Bowie at sunrise
• Sitting drinking for 5 hours watching the sunset vs long bike rides at sunset (yes, I’m in Florida!)
• Empty calories vs whole healthy food
• “Oh shit where did I put that” vs organization
• Waking up wondering what I did bad last night due to a blackout vs waking up feeling happy, calm and centered

This list could go on and on and on but on day 8 of loving my new life, these are the things that came to me this beautiful full moon early Saturday morning.

Please feel free to add to the list in the comments. I would love to hear your top comparisons!
