At some point, probably about two years, I started to move beyond recovery into just living.
I won't let myself forget that I'm alcoholic and I'm committed to lifelong sobriety, but drinking is a thing of the past. The main reason I stay in recovery circles is to try to help people who are still struggling. And I'm sure it keeps me honest about who I am.
But, really, for me, I would hate to try to recapture my early recovery. I remember being so thrilled with each passing day that I remained sober, and that was a wonderful feeling, but I've got other goals now.
For me, recovery is no longer about not drinking or worrying about not drinking, but how to make the most out of the life that I have left.
I hope you find something that works for you.
