-being able to take my son to get a donut (or anything else) at 9pm, if he decides he wants one.
-losing 10+ pounds and feeling healthier than I have in years!
-my coffee tastes better and I enjoy it so much more when I'm not hungover....or still drunk.

There are many more. Too many to name. I am just so much happier now.

I can breathe. My active addiction was one long panic attack, I was always frantic. Now I can breathe.

Remembering putting my child to sleep at night.

That's just sad and scary at the same time.. now I cherish bedtime, snuggling and reading stories.
Great thread.
