Day 22, 30 Days of Sober Sunrises

Day 22, Saturday, July 20th, 5:56 am

Today I captured the experience through water color painting on the beach.

It was so delightful to be able to paint the colors that I saw rather than try to describe them in writing. 

We also saw dolphins jumping today and it brought us so much joy and excitement.

What's the message today, for me?

That pain will pass, it will get easier, even lighter, and you will have amazing moments feeling great again soon. I know these moments will also come and go and the grief and pain will come in and leave again too. Knowing that none of it is permanent, brings me more acceptance and peace to allow it all to flow through me and to appreciate it the full spectrum of life.

I don't need to escape it because if I am patient it will leave on it's own.

xo,

Angela

About the 30 days of Sober Sunrise Project:

These entries are dedicated to my 6th year of living an alcohol-free life. I have discovered that I love sunrises in my new life. So, I decided to do a writing project of documenting 30-days of sober sunrises over the Atlantic ocean. I rented a house within walking distance to Carolina Beach to make this happen. My family and a few friends will be rotating in and out during this time.

I have no agenda or goal about the outcome. I am curious and fascinated about what might happen.

But most importantly, I just happy that I gave myself the chance for this to even be possible. I am thankful for every person who has helped me get here, past and present, good and bad. They all played a role and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't the experiences in my life (even all the excessive drinking) before this very moment. Let's see what happens!
