Welcome Nicole. I’ve noticed lots but I will simply say my calmness returned. Being abe to maintain a relaxed state even when life is crappy is really good! Oh, here’s a bad .. can’t stand being around loud active drunks!

I’ve also noticed lots of changes, but my favorite is becoming more resilient now that I’m not drowning everything out

My obsession for alcohol is slowly disappearing. I was told to pray for it to happen and it’s working. Who knew :winking_face_with_tongue:

I love having a clear mind all the time.

Being able to get in my car and go anywhere, anytime without worry.

No more checking my liquor inventory to make sure I have enough to last me thorough the day.

Started a new job the day after I was released from the hospital after a more than a quarter million dollar stay.

Understanding and dealing with anxiety.

Feeling and apparently looking better physically.

That’s just a start.

I am able to do good work and be helpful and caring and loving and of service to other people.

Powers greater than myself have transformed my life and I don’t have the words to explain how I have been changed but I went from someone who was using my parents for the money to use and not helping them or anyone else not able to hold a job or stay out of jail I WAS a disaster.

Then I found the 12 steps and today I am looking at celebrating 7 years off of alcohol marijuana and narcotics.

It’s a miracle and I love the life I’ve been given. My dad saw me get clean before he went to be with the Lord! I was able to help take care of him in his last years. I have very little material wealth and I am happier than I have ever been before and it keeps getting better and better.

We do recover and our lives don’t suck!
