I didn’t get sober just to struggle. I got sober to finally live. Anyone else feel this?

Yeah. Me too!
I didn't get sober to live, well kinda. I got sober to live in the big bedroom with my, now ex, wife. Information the meetings i was told I could have a life that I NEVER dreamed of if I work an active program of recovery. I thought, these people are still drinking!
I was wrong and they are right.
Today, I don't fret the small stuff.
Today, I don't control the show.
Today, I didn't wake up with a blazing hangover (BTW, no one in the adult ingredients handbook told me they get worse as I got older).
Today, I don't worry about being single.
Today, I'm at peace with the mistakes I made.
Today, I know how to be better than yesterday.
Today, my car insurance is paid.
Today, I don't have meal insecurity.
Today, my parents aren't worried I will die suddenly.
This list could go on.
Today all i have is today. That's all i need and perfect for me. I get to life for today.
Absolutely.
