I'm a little older (40) and tend to juggle a lot of high-level things at work. More or less, I tend to be pretty accomplished professionally. At 11 months sober, I can say I am handling work (and life) stressors better than I have before, but that's not particularly dramatic a change.
But I get what is said about "becoming." I too am starting to hit that stage where being recovered isn't enough - what I am trying to "become" is something a lot more personal - a whole person. This is not easy.
