sober for almost 14 months

i remember the times i used to drink just to feel happy, to feel like i was having fun. i used to love that warm feeling, laughing and having fun.
that feeling is what always brought me back to drinking. today i felt that feeling again. i was happy, full of love and laughing. i havent felt that way in over a year. yeah ive had fun, ive been happy but this is the first time in my sobriety that i had that warm happy feeling. whats even more shocking is that i felt that way at work. lol i guess that means i love my job.
hahahaha

i just dont want people to give up. i know how hard it is to stay sober. just keep hanging in there. you wont always feel so blue.

love ya!

Thank you for the inspiration! It goes without saying that the early days are tough. One of the reasons I enjoy AA meetings is that one meets lots of people who have 'come out the other end' and are doing so well - as you have! Thanks for posting!

Great reminder for me that change takes time; I've been very impatient lately

Amazing! Congratulations! But moreover thank you for your post. I am new to sobriety and am still very much into the adjustment period. I love to hear that people are happy and thriving! Wonderful!
