Its nice to not feel required to drink or be chained to the bottle and be the slave i was to it for so many years.

Lifes not easy for me currently. But I guess life never really is easy per say.

I feel like I'm getting to a point where when I was in early sobriety I'd see people with many years and never understood how they did it. I'm starting to kinda see it now.

I realize now that always going to be somegthing I have to stay on top of. I always have to keep my finger on the pulse if you will of those crazy alcholic type thoughts. But its ok and i'm accepting of it.

Lately i have to remind myself a lot of no matter how hard my life can be I can look back and see just how far i've come tho!.

anyhow thats my 2 cents. but it can be done and life does improve.
