SproutLife

I keep learning and growing so much lately. I feel like every unexpected thing in life keeps offering new lessons and I was pensive today about why im seeing so much growth. I'm close to 150 days without that monkey on my back, a full year of trying hard before that, and I cant help but think on the connection. In my past, so much of my life and focus was suriving, treading water. I cant attribute it all to lifes hardships, during the smooth sailing I still had the alcoholic voice, I still had Gollum playing puppet master. But now I feel like every bump in the road, my brain sees it as just another part of life to experience, learn from, and cherish (who wants a flat roller coaster?). I hadnt made the blatent connection until today but very cool.

Anyway, appreciate you all! Happy Tuesday! Keep on trucking.

Hi SproutLife. Loved your post, & the revelations you're experiencing.

I feel the same - even after many years of sobriety I'm still learning. I can't believe I kept myself in a fog so much of the time.

Congrats on your 150 days of freedom.

Sproutlife, after three years, I still feel the growth you refer to. Making up for lost time after all those many years of drinking and not growing.

It's suggested that us alcoholics have stopped growing and maturing. I find that to be very true for myself.
