Welcome, FiveYearsYoung, glad you found us. Five years of sobriety is a great achievement.
Feeling like 'a baby when it comes to life' is called having 'beginner's mind'.
"Beginner's mind embodies the highest emotional qualities such as enthusiasm, creativity, zeal, and optimism. With beginner's mind, there is boundlessness, limitlessness, an infinite wealth."
You are only limited by your imagination, free to manifest your natural powers, talents and abilities. You are a lucky man.
