Sobriety Gave Me So Much

…and it wasn’t my sobriety

I never wanted my friend to go sober. I did my fair share of dissuading her from admitting to a problem with alcohol. There are lots of reasons for this — one big one was the way I thought our friendship would change. I thought her going sober could spell the end. It turns out that I was wrong. Sobriety, more specifically my friend’s sobriety, gave me so much. I never expected it would, and I am forever grateful to her because of it.
