Big Life Changes After Some Sober Time

After posting about 30 months, it dawned on me that I might ask here...

Wondering if anyone that's had some decent time under their belt sober - like 2 years+ ish - have done major overhauls of things like career. Especially interested if anyone has done so in their 40s. I'm seriously considering it. Sober me is realizing that so much of my life up to 2 1/2 years ago was defined by various complexes and under the influence of drugs and alcohol... now at 46 I'm realizing the path I chose may very well not be the path my soul really wants. Thing is, I have no real objective idea of what I would do difference. Also, the money I make is good. And while of course money isn't everything - I don't want to be idealistic about it. To quote A Tribe Called Quest... 'Riding on the Train with no Dough Sucks."

So yea. Wondering if anyone here gets the gist of what I'm talking about. You know- how getting sober is really just the beginning and that working down deep into root cause and such could require one to be open to any and all change.

Appreciate the thoughts in advance.
