Congratulations, celandra. That is a serious accomplishment you have, so congratulations to you. I felt around that time that since I was successful at the sobriety thing where so many appear to struggle, that I could accomplish all sorts of things. And I was able to use what I had learned and apply it to other aspects of self improvement.
I have a good feeling that you will be able to do exactly the same thing yourself. It's exciting, it's scary, it's exhilarating. Keep your eye on the prize and never look back, and it will be yours. Onward!
