Still Happy despite fear

I have a crippling fear everyday about something. It tends to work out in the end as long as I stay sober and work on being the best version of myself. Recovery has revealed a lot to me. And I get to face my fears head on all the time. It’s a different type of thrill seeking. I am not ashamed to admit my fears, but I don’t dwell on them, and I work on resolving them. My emotions are all over the place on the inside, but it’s worth converting that energy to productivity and problem solving. The silver lining in the cloud of my time wasted from addiction, is that now, I have a goal everyday. It’s still all or nothing, my biggest flaw is that there is no gray area with me. This community has helped me to relax a little, but putting my sobriety ahead of everything else can be a little daunting. I hope I can continue to contribute to this site, and hopefully this helps someone.
