Sobriety is allowing many good things

I have been sober just under 3.5 years and things are starting to look much better for me. I can't change the crappy things I have done but I can keep moving forward.

I finished some school that I failed to finish when I started drinking heavily 15 years ago.

I now have now have certifications that allow me to have a job for the rest of my healthy life if I want.

My relationship with my spouse is way better.

My ability to remember is coming back in a major way. Being able to remember things longer than a couple of days is new to me. I actually retain information for future use.

The benefits of sobriety for me seem to add up like 1 + 1 =3. The more sober time I get the more I see that sober time is synergistic.

Just wanted to say that. Much love for all on this site.

Sobriety gives us the chance to take our lives back and transform them. It's fantastic you're taking advantage of that, gettingsmarter!
