Sober Singer

I DID IT! Last night I was a sober singer!
The nerves hit hard, I almost bottled it but I did it.

One of my goals of self improvement in my sobriety was to get my ass up in front of strangers and sing. This doesn’t come easy. Being a true Virgo I struggle with perfection and my voice is not perfect. I am no Adele but I think I can hold a tune.

What was the song I hear you ask (or maybe not 😆) I Sang flowers by Miley Cyrus. A pretty easy one to get started. I would have loved to stay and do more but there were a couple of issues to prevent that. One being Karaoke doesn’t seem to kick off until 11pm and by then (second issue) hubby is well oiled on beer and whiskey and wanted to go back to our hotel after that one song.

My mission tonight is to get hubby to start drinking later so we can stay out longer (a true challenge) then I can sing my heart out! As scary as it was it was so rewarding. My sister couldn’t believe it and was full of praises once I sat down, it was so cool!

You have heard me say before I think to help with sobriety you need hobbies. Sewing is one of them, I make items of clothing for myself which is super satisfying. My next love is the discovery of singing. I even had gifted to me a karaoke machine for Christmas.

If you are sober curious or have chosen to become sober I urge you to indulge in something fun and of interest. It is not selfish, it is self love. Chose yourself and live full over a lost, numb detached life .

I leave you on a high of last nights fun, it’s time for a siesta here in Cyprus. These late sober nights are catching up.
