Madgirl,
For me, living life sober has been learning how to live again.
At 5 months, I was still pretty jacked up mentally.
I worked out a bunch w my new physical energy.
Definitely didn't attempt any new work moves, but I am in a job w no promotion potential.
Basically, I was mentally damaged pretty bad at 5 months. But, everyone is different.
F2f at AA was a nice addiction to my sober lifestyle. Listening to my peers w way more experience kept me grounded. For example, we had a gal from our group commit suicide overy this booze addiction we all have.
Learning that really made me ultra serious about keeping my sobriety a priority.
Thanks for the post.
