Now you do the real work.

Sobriety just gives us our life back, maybe for the first time. Once I got sober I realized that all the crap, the obstacles, bad habits, regrets, ill health, money issues, relationships, plans, everything - it was just sitting there waiting for me. It was time to finally get to work. Personally a truly committed weight lifting and meditation plan has been the base of the life I am trying to lead. Some days are better than others. I'm still the guy who lived a life in the bottles, avoiding, escaping etc. But, like you, I now have the time and space and energy to see if many I can't have a life of meaning, value and reward. Some days it's just chopping wood and carrying water. Some days it's the most beautiful revelation of life's depth. Other days it's probably something in the middle.

Congrats on getting sober, where the real work starts.
