A truer deeper understanding of who I was meant to be without fear of feeling insecure, and sadnessness...

My sobriety pretty much gave me a key to the rest of my life, and finding a life I never thought I had. For the first time in my life, and this includes the period before I started using, I actually feel like a human being. It's a weird feeling to describe. Like I have lived in some kind of self induced bubble for 22 years.

My sobriety is the key to having a clear sane mind, a working memory, and the abilty to see a bigger picture.

I need these three doors open to be able to begin to see what I want in life... and the best way to go about getting there.

My sobriety is the key that opens the door to:

The possibility of addressing personal issues that have prevented me from being happy. But I have come to realize that drinking probably didn't cause my issues but I can't work on them effectively when I am drinking.

Sorry not as upbeat as the others here, but that's the way I am feeling right now .
