I get what you're saying I think. Do you mean without alcoholism you wouldn't have had the opportunity to look deeper within yourself and feel how amazing it is to transform your life for the better? Also grateful for all the wonderful people who have come into your life?
I'm not quite there, but this is how I imagine I'll feel about long term sobriety.
I might be wrong about what you're saying, but this is how I took it, xoxo
I'm very happy to read your positive post too, thanks for sharing
