I Like Myself
I didn't when I was drinking.
Couldn't look in the mirror.
Couldn't look people in the eye.
The bad was the end of the world and the good was tolerable.
Now the bad is tolerable and the good is amazing.
If you're struggling, it gets better. Not just for me either. I know several people that are happy sober and were a complete wreck when they were active in addiction. I'm beginning to think it's the standard.

It is really amazing when we raise our life condition, self esteem, change our behaviors and start to see the positive results of living sober. There is so much happiness in the day now. Moments of true laughter and being content.
Thank you for your post. I really like that you honoring yourself and changing your life. May you continue to do so and may you continue to encourage others who are starting on this path. Keep moving forward with daily determination and gratitude! You are doing so well.

Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, ooh
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River running free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
I'm feeling good
