70 days and I am finding peace

First and foremost I need to thank all of you for your positive insight and support. Over the last 70 days mentally, physically and spiritually I have began a epic transformation. For years now I have been told that people want the old Greg back. After this process I understand the old Greg is no longer. This Greg is a stronger smarter and happier man who is looking at the world with new eyes and an childs heart. Do I have cravings yes I am sure I always will. My reward thus far is being able to quell the demon and persevere. I want to wish all of you a blissfull day. Please take the time to smile at someone today or pay a compliment to them because it just may be the thing they need. Again thank you all and love yourselves
Greg

This is great to hear, Greg The transformation is what I enjoy best in recovery... experiencing and seeing the changes in my everyday structure, attitude, mental stability, etc. I remember somewhere around the sober time you have now, I had these intense moments of joy that I'm really doing this...staying sober and starting to see perspective again. Such a great feeling.

Keep on rockin'

Thanks Greg - very inspiring. Makes me believe the the real reward of sobriety is not necessarily the destination (if there ever really is one) but rather, the journey itself

Congrats on day 70 CNY46ER

I actually found an old old me when I got sober - a me I'd forgotten about...when I added all the knowledge and experience of the intervening years in, I found I really liked the new/old me - Dee 2.0

Yes, it's kind of an improved version of the old me (I hope).

I'm glad you're doing well.

I think this is so true! Many times I've found myself comparing my abilities and personality then and now... we (old me and new me) really aren't the same.

So glad to hear things are going well for you and that you are smarter and happier now!

I really think part of recovery is accepting who we are now. Rather than looking backward in time to who we were.

Well done
