My man, this was a great post to read. I'm very happy for you. I do not believe in fate, HP, karma or any of those related items - though I do not chastise those who do - that said, wowza, I think your sobriety and it's adherent ability to see and think clearly has so much to do with where you are your perspective going forward.
An inspiration to see. Think you'll maintain this sober strength even when things go the other way, as they will for us all.
Good work, keep us updated.
