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.
