Times they are a changin'
 
Times and things, are changin

Slowly, but I seem to be clearing my clutter out
I don't cook for 6 people when there is just 2 of us
I'm more rational
I'm calmer
I'm not the drama queen anymore
I'm not harassed
It's not a problem if the toilet seats left up
I don't panic if I've forgotten something when shopping
It's not the end of the world .
........................
I'm sure there will be frustrating and not so good days, yep they will come, but hopefully I can deal with them better, why?, cos I'm soberer than I've ever been.

The light at the proverbial end of the tunnel isn't a train coming my way, anymore, it's just that, a light.

Change can be so rewarding when we get past our fears. Good for you working through it Mags! :)

Thanks Optival.
It's not an easy road as we all know, but most worthwhile.

Thank you for your post! I can identify with your experience. I just keep reminding myself that the drunken road is always soo much harder. Happy days ahead with my hard work :)

That's tremendous progress, Mags.

Letting go of both being in control and worrying over being out of control is a major milestone in sobriety.
