A Journey to who I really am!
Its painful I lost the battle to substance abuse for so many years.. I always wanted to do things my own way, of course thinking I knew best. For me, its a inside job. I always worked outside in on my prior attempts at getting sober. I thought if I got the job, the car, the money, the girl,etc. I would be happy and stay sober. I had a false belief of who I really was. I believed whole heartily in who I thought I was.. Not having a clue of who I really am. Sobriety and spiritual growth has taken me on this path of figuring out my true identity.. Its the most uncomfortable comfortable situation . Life is different, better, amazing and joyful fighting the good fight.

Welcome to SR. 
That's what I thought too once upon a time, because that's what everyone & society says is the path to happiness. So I figured, fine, I'll do that. By the time I was 20, had my nice high-rise condo, leather furniture, good money, etc. I was totally miserable.
Nowadays I'm old enough and have lived in enough countries to realize there is no such thing as "reality". We all live in our own personalized slices of it, and the world truly is what you make of it.
Nonetheless, glad to have you on SR!
