Brand New Mind Set

I am only 18 days sober this time around, but I have never felt like this in my entire life, with our without alcohol. My confidence is back and I am feeling like I actually have a shot to make a good life for myself all of the sudden. I am excelling in my new job, and all I can think about is advancing further and getting to the top no matter what it takes.

I have never felt this ambitious or determined to succeed, I can only imagine where I will be a year from now if I stay sober and on the right track. I know alcohol will only derail my plans, and put me back on the one way street to nowhere.

Thanks for all the support since I joined everyone.

So glad you're doing well, Prodigy! I felt like a different person after getting sober, too....... even the no-so-great days are much easier to deal with. Way to go on 18 days!

That feeling of achievement was like air to a drowning man for me. Congratulations, Prodigy. Well done. Onward!

Great news, Prodigy! It's amazing how we think we're making life more fun and easier by getting numb. It's slowly destroying us the whole time. Happy you are doing well - there's no stopping the sober you.

I don't want to be a fraud this time and mess it up, not when I am feeling this good and know for sure what will happen if I slip. I don't want to be back here in another month saying "day 1 again", not that there is anything wrong with failing but Iv'e already done it too many times.

I'm so glad you're feeling this way! That's exactly what happened to me, too. Isn't it wonderful? Keep going - it really does continue to get better (if you can even imagine that to be possible)
