Being clean and sober is a way of life. A fun, exciting, purposeful life that is a result of working some simple steps. This website is dedicated to carrying the message to other alcoholics and addicts while also encompassing the multi-faceted adventure and daily journey of those in recovery who have found this way of life. Being clean and sober while living life to the fullest. We are Clean And Sober Not Dead!
For me, this song perfectly expresses the daily adventure in the journey of living life clean and sober. Sometimes words are not needed to describe the ride... enjoy.
Fifteen thousand dry days have passed,
lost fifteen thousand times,
zero to fifteen thousand suns were born,
counted hourly
in the solemn, more grotesque gesture
to wind a clock invented
to seek, in the years forgotten,
the patience to go on living the rest.
We now have LIVE CHAT offering online meetings and singles events.
Clean and Sober Not Dead will recognize someone in the recovery community with the Recovery Hero Award. Nominate someone that has made a difference here. Tell us about them. How have they made a difference? We want to recognize them for the good they do our recovery community. First name and initial only for anonymity.

The struggle is over for those who have died. For those that live there is still hope.
Keith Whitley - Musician
Keith Whitley was a long time alcoholic and died from an alcohol overdose. He was an up and coming country superstar and at the time of his death was married to country singer Lori Morgan. Here is Keith singing "When you say nothing at all". Allison Kraus also had a huge hit with Keith's song many years later. Keith died May 9, 1989 at age 33. Alcoholism plays for keeps.
What is reality???
As alcoholics and/or addicts we often do not see reality the way it really is. Everybody is not after you (well in your case, they are), you can not drive drunk better than when you are sober (remember, the authorities have this well documented) and the 2 tubes above are crooked. As an example how things sometimes are not how they are perceived the tubes above are straight as an arrow and totally parallel with each other. Due to the lines in the background (your brain) the tubes appear leaning and crooked (your perception) when they are truly straight and parallel (reality).
Same thing with the picture below. The snakes are straight also and equally spaced apart. Ok, I'm just messin' with you this time but are the snakes moving or is it just me?

Just because we are not drinking does not mean that we do not enjoy life anymore. Just the contrary is true. We like things that are fun and enjoyable more than ever as we live our life to the fullest.
