Im still in the very early stages, and dealing with the PAWS symptoms and learning to be comfortable in my emotions again, so it is a work in progress. BUT despite all of that, I can say that i am calmer, less insane and generally happier than when under the influence of alcohol.
It has not been an easy road to get to this point, but I can see that life will improve and there are so many amazing opportunities ahead in this life. Not every day is easy, but it is certainly easier than struggling through life with the crushing anxiety and pain of alcoholism.
