I think it is great that you have dreams and that you are willing to chase them. It is one more reason, one more driving force, that will help you stay sober.

I don't know what dream it is that you are chasing, but I am sure that you will be much more likely to achieve it if you stay sober.

I was struck by this part of your post because, when many of us joined SR, we had few if any dreams that were within reach. Most of us had lost so much before arriving here. I, for one, was done chasing dreams. And it made my recovery harder.

So, keep your eye on the prize. Keep chasing the dream. Use it as another tool in your arsenal.

Good luck. I am glad you are here with us.
