I never write stuff in a public forum. Self esteem issues. Howver i just spent so much time on a milestone post and i dont actually know if i posted it. It was a lot because ive never actually believed i could actually feel confident in myself to remain sober. Never knew that feeling existed til recently. Thats a milestone for me. And i think the post just disappeared lol. Despite that, just getting those words out was cathartic enough. When i was drinking a technical hiccup like that would have killed my motivation. Being sober has allowed me to let misfortunes turn into motivation… a correlation i lost a while
Cant always stay positive but i swear there is always something to be learned from the negative.
I also always remind myself that there’s learning in everything. I’m much better at accepting that sober than i ever was drunk. It’s a much more graceful existence.
