It’s Nice to Know I Got Options: 2 Years of Navigating Sobriety

I recently heard the song “Options” by Cameron Whitcomb and it perfectly summed up a feeling I sometimes get while navigating sobriety.

[Verse 1] Is it a relapse if it's just a drink? A picture perfect party full of friends I used to keep. My favorite vices I used to need Are lined up on the countertop, and they're calling out to me.

[Chorus] I won't, but I could pull that bottle off that shelf It helps me cope knowing I could be that version of myself Could disappеar for a week, for a month, for a year Wake up at home or in a coffin It's nicе to know I got options
