Gratitude
Hello everyone.
I hope everyone out there is doing well. Yesterday I was thinking about how much more peaceful my life is without alcohol. At 16 months sober I can see how much damage I did to my body and mind with alcohol. Today I feel lucky to live a sober life, a life in which I accept painful emotions without running from them. The SR forums are great and I appreciate all the work everyone does here. Lately I have felt overwhelmed with gratitude. Someone told me the other day that we can feel like we have not grown, but when we look back after some time we can see development and growth. I am lucky I got sober.

That's quite a statement Acheleus and I'm grateful to you for sharing all the things you have shared over your time here on SR. You have accomplished so much in your sobriety, others will learn and be inspired by you for quite some time.
