For me, what I paid for, and I do think I paid for my sobriety was freedom. That's why I get to choose how my day ends. I get to choose what I have of choice, which is amazing. I don't drink other people's drinks and piss in the bed. I don't do anything like that anymore. I get to choose, and that's what I do with that choice, you know, and how that choice pans out that.
