Thumbs up Happy - really, truly happy!

You know, this sober thing works. I love being calm, serene, and happy. A year ago I had a broken ankle caused from being drunk. Not intoxicated. Down right, blackout D R U N K. Today, I'm happy with my life, my job, have been promoted, and am rekindling and nurturing my relationship with my family. Negative Nancy is now Tickled Tammi. I am really liking her! Thank you, SR. The wisdom and encouragement here has blown away the storm clouds. Life is soberliciously wonderful!

So very happy for you! I had a stretch of sobriety a couple of months ago, and it was glorious. I don't know why I ever went back.

Again, glad that thinks have turned around for you!

NBC,
Thanks for remining those of us who are sober to be grateful just for that. Terrific work you have done getting your life back on track. Thanks for sharing.

Amen sister!
I have been thinking lately of how amazing life is now.
I will NEVER go back to that miserable existence.

You are MEGA awesome!!! I'm so happy for you

Way to go, NBC. It's amazing how we keep insisting drinking is making us happier and helping us to relax, have more fun, etc. What a lie. In the end, I was anxious, paranoid, anti-social, and miserable. Good times! So proud of you for what you've accomplished.

I hear gratitude and appreciation in your UPLIFTING post. Those are two of the gifts of sobriety that I couldn't have imagined were possible for me either. Thanks for the smile. I'm so happy for you.
