"It was depressing to realize after 5 years of drinking that I had not experienced the growth in maturity, intellect or mood that you would expect to see in someone who had just lived 5 years." - Bob
When you leave (use) and then come back (sober up), you come back to the same spot you left in life.
- When you engage in alcohol or drugs, emotionally there is no movement. You are delayed to the spot you left.
