I cannot thank you all enough for the kind words and encouragement. I have been going through a bit of a tough time, but I'm learning new things every day. This sober life is a change for the better and like most of you state, it comes with positive changes that take work. I feel it is well worth it. 2 months into my second year actually feels like I'm starting to put forth all the changes I made in the first year. It's a work in progress. Rebuilding.
