What were you thinking about last night?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 26, 2008:
Last night was sobering for me...literally. It was the first time in a long time that I hadn't indulged in having a drink or smoking...that special smoke :). The funny thing I realized is that people do these things because they may feel they need it.
As if I cannot achieve the same feelings sober as I do when I'm high. That's not the case, as I've discovered, but you have to search harder to find it. While laying in bed, I achieved that euphoric feeling throughout my body for a split second, and I realized it was just because of life itself. The natural enhancers the body releases to keep us from killing ourselves, basically.
But in a world where everything that is done must be done "big" and quick, most of us pass that feeling up.
Hopefully I'll be able to do the same tonight, and continue to work towards appreciating what I have to offer myself, rather than trying to find solutions in something else.
