There is the true self and the false self. But there is also a “second self.” Stuff happens in life, especially if we live long enough. I cannot run anymore because of hip and tendinitis. But I can walk at a good pace. When walking I get to look around and see things that I used to miss when I ran. Running I had to always look down at the ground so I would not trip over something. When I walk in Boulder I can go downtown and see all the Christmas lights. The same in San Francisco. People who cannot see very well learn to hear better and sense things around them better than when they had more perfect sight. Plus, gratitude is quite possible when we lose some physical aspect to our life. After the complaining and whining, we learn to appreciate what we do have. Sober people don’t miss alcohol. They are full of gratitude for what they do have and new possibilities afforded them in their new way of life.
