Is anybody excited by their sobriety?

Just a thought that popped into my head. I'm two months sober and starting to think something along the lines of: ''The world is just completely open to explore, and opportunities are plentiful.''

I am, however, concerned that this feeling won't last, but I'm trying to live in the moment and ride the wave. In the past (all my life) I've suppressed any positive emotions, and these days I automatically replace them with negative ones. However, I am trying to rectify these maladaptive thought-patterns.

To the people with strong sober stints, do you still get excited about being sober? I'm actually starting to feel like a bit of a badass, in my own non-conformist way
Staying on that theme, I bought myself a leather jacket online on Saturday with the money I have saved over the last 8 weeks!

Thanks for you time
