Maybe since I spent most of the last few years in a drunken blur – for the first time, at least in a long time, I am really looking at my life and where I am going. Part of it is probably influenced by New Year’s as well, since the end of the year has occurred its natural to look back and try to figure out what is working and where things went wrong.

However, I am also left with questions. Without drinking, I have a lot more time on my hands. What sort of life am I going to live? How can I make most of this? I want to look back on my life and be happy.

I’m feeling a lot of mixed emotions. A feeling of regret for all that time I wasted drinking but also a deep sense of hope for better days ahead with sobriety.

It is bittersweet getting sober. Such a mix of emotions.

Very nice post! I'm feeling much the same way. Though I'm early on, I'm feeling a calmness tonight that seems abnormal for me. Questions about the new year, what I can do better. And beyond 2015?

I'm with you.

I have found the big life questions bubble to the forefront in sobriety. For good and bad.

As we nurture and have compassion for ourselves in our recovery we naturally extend this outward. All else falls into its rightful place. I'm going to trust in this
