Wow.... I am finally getting it

Morning family!!

I spent the weekend at a NA camp out here in my hometown!

WOW.. What an amazing weekend.. Everyone was able to laugh enjoy life spend time with friends old and new talk about their recovery and feelings and families were there.. it was the most incredible thing to see and experience. I can't believe the fun I had without the use of drugs or booze like wow. I am feeling amazing.

I have realized that this is all a process and isn't going to happen over night. i have had to breakdown m emotions into minutes because one minute I'm feeling great and the net I'm feeling a different emotion. Its beautiful to be alive and feeling again.I am finally excited about my recovery and ready to do whatever it takes to take care of myself for the first time ever.

I LOVE life, I have hope, I am learning how to let my walls own, be humble, experience serenity.

WOW

I what you are experiencing is IT clicking...

I think

So happy for you. This is what it took for me when it finally stuck. Ride the high but be prepared for the lows. Keep fostering the excitement for sobriety.

Hope to see you around.

Sounds awesome, I'm learning it's process too, when I first wanted to stop drinking I thought I'd "just stop".......
Nope, but I've learned so much.
