we can be happy

We alcoholics can find happiness in sobriety! I was running around doing errands with my wife yesterday. I started to think about how happy I've been lately. It is so liberating not to be a slave to alcohol. I realize that life will have rough times. We have been remodeling the house so things are pretty tight financially but it is not stressing me as it did when I was drinking. Our teenager is still a typical teen but I'm able to handle him much better while sober. While life will have its ups and downs I will take it in the same stride as my sobriety, one day at a time. I don't have to think about yesterdays problems, I don't have to worry about tomorrows troubles, I only have to deal with this day. Life is much more simple that way.

I share your life philosophy. I went to bed last night & woke up this morning thinking "it's good to be me" . Today, life is good!

How true!
Only 11 days for me now, this time, but it's soooo good.

Thanks for your post!

Good to see you too!. Don't get to post too often, but I lurk at work (hey, that rhymes!) a lot.

Good to be sober again.

I’ve been reading your posts/threads and as of late you do seem much happier, good for you. Why be a slave to alcohol I couldn’t have said it better myself that’s awesome!!!!!!!

One day at a time life is much more simple that way, great job on the meetings as well….
