It's worth it so much more than you can even imagine.
Day 115.
While I'm still in early recovery and am ever aware of landmines, I feel so good about myself tonight. I read all of the struggles here and understand completely most of what is going on in your heads. Please stick with it as the greatest gift you can ever give to yourself and to those around you.
Tonight my wife told me that she can't believe the change in me and how she couldn't see what was happening before as the alcohol warped my brain and changed me into a different person completely. She told me that she is proud of me and that she feels more love for me today than she has in a long time.
It's worth it. Who you are under the shadow of this monster is not the real you. The real you is so much better and so much more of a person and I hope everyone here knows this or one day realizes it about themselves.
I just felt like writing this in hopes that maybe it can inspire at least one person struggling tonight and in case I need to read it at some point in the future to remember how I feel right now.

Beautiful post. I couldn't agree more. I always used to read people's posts who said that you just keeps getting better. It's hard to believe it but it's true. Thank you for the post this morning was great to read.
