text: I am 53 and I went through the drug scene growing up and to be honest with you I enjoy being sober.  Life is so grand that you don't need the artificial highs to enjoy it.  I get high when I see my children and my grandchildren.  I catch a buzz when I read my Bible and go to church.  I get happy when I am just with my wife watching television or talking to one another.  There is life after drugs and alcohol.  I regret the times that I have missed by being high, I will never get those years back, but I do not dwell on it and just go forward.
