For anyone on the fence about quitting or not seeing results in the first few months keep on going for, you will see them eventually and it is great.

those are the signs we will see within the first year or two
oh yes - some fortunate ones will experience them fairly soon.
It was several months before I saw the up side of sober life.
We must remember what awaits us if we return
to run with the liquid devil.
Most important -- "On my knees in gratitude and mercy."
Good luck and keep doing what you have been doing.

Congrats, that's awesome. 
I'm only about 3+ weeks in myself and the other morning I had a moment like you described but it really only lasted for a few hours. I was so clear headed and happy it was ridiculous. I hope that someday I can feel like that the majority of the time. And your post gives me true hope for that.

AO, woooohooooo!!
Wonderful post!! That happened for me around the year mark, ain't it awesome!
I've had some **** days since then, it's not all awesome all the time. But man I feel like that wonderful period totally recharges our batteries and the stuff can hit the fan tomorrow but it can't take this away.
It will keep getting better, girl!

I'm very happy for you, AO. My brain symptoms are still a struggle after 2 years 5 months and I'm fed up waiting for some modicum of stability. They say for some it may take up to 5 years to get your marbles in order.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!

AO your post comes right on time! I have been feeling like I will never be able to keep up mentally and emotionally, that I've ruined myself, but you have shown that it is possible if I stay at it and be patient. Thank you so much and congrats. I'm genuinely happy for you!
I could see peace instead of this

Beautiful and inspiring! Oh yes, it does get better!
Maybe not rosy all the time but definitely very much better.
We just need the patience to get there and for me a lot of it was when I began to change my thinking and perception of the world.
I'm so happy for you!
