Looking up :)
It's amazing what a difference a few months makes. I can't even remember the last time I was this happy or life was this good. Haven't had cravings in a long time. Everything is better, it took longer than I wanted it too or expected it too. But, it's finally here! I am kind of nervous though, feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I am not going to be one who drops it this time.

Good news Charliee. I know what you mean about waiting for the other shoe to drop as I was like that for well over a year into recovery. I think it's a good state of mind not to get too complacent as the AV can pop up in many forms, some of them subtle. Stay on your guard.

Very good to hear of your happiness. Long overdue, as you struggled a lot for too long. I wish the same for those that are in the same shoes you were in a couple months--wondering if sobriety was worth it. Of course it is!

Yay! I am so happy for you!! I am almost 15 months sober and I have noticed that my strength in my sobriety still ebbs and flows, but the longer I stick with it, the better and the more it just flows. 
The next time that you reach a "sticking point", remember how good you feel now, and know that that feeling is attainable and just right around the corner.
