Us newbies get really inspired and motivated by sober success stories. What is the best thing to happen in your life since you got sober?
I'm at about a year and a half. I love being present in the moment and remembering things the next day. No blackouts or staying in bed hungover all day
Totally agree with you here. Thanks for sharing!
Getting a Masters
Being clear headed and able to focus on my goals-
I agree with Robin...no hangover, no coming down off a drug...my emotions are stabling out...I got a year and 1 month. I feel grateful and stronger mentally. I created healthy boundaries.
A member in a meeting where I'm at said they would like less years and more days...meaning less of the years just passing and more days in the present...I'm in today!
The best thing for me are the opportunities I have! Life isn’t perfect, but every morning I wake up and I’m not hung over or too sick to function is an opportunity to make better choices and take positive steps in rebuilding my life.
I am 6 months clean today!! And my life has completely turned around I went from being homeless and I had my child behind in school I was messing his whole life up and he had absolutely no say so in it… but he is currently back in school and killing it! I have my own house and car and a great job with great benefits and retirement!!! This will be my first Christmas clean! So I am going to give my kid the Best Christmas he has had in a long time!! Life is good! It’s hard at times but u have to fight through it! Fight for ur life!!! I am and I won’t give up!!!
Clarity, healthy habits,look better,feel better. People sayin wow you look great never gets old. Being the designated driver. Making myself smile and laugh. Along with others. I have zero desire for alcohol. Sleeping and waking up fresh. Fabulous
Being happy!!
Getting to be me
Always being able to say yes because I have the energy
Time with my kids
Congrats!!
The way things improve pretty quickly. I always told myself drinking had nothing to do with why I wasn’t getting a better job, or why my weight was up and down, or even why I got divorced. Once I stopped drinking things got better relatively quickly. It took so long for me to see it but I finally did.
Three years sober and my life is nearly void of chaos!! I have good relationships and live a healthy peaceful life.
Wow. This is a great platform. Ditto to all of the above.
My mind is clearer, and I can be present for my children now
Oh Gosh, where does one begin? I've held down the same job for nearly two years and it gets better everyday! Oh and being sober for the birth of my nephew!
I’m at 82 days and just got promoted after 2 years of trying.
