Thank you That’s great! That’s what sobriety is about. I can relate to each and every things you list. It is great to value those things and not take it for granted. Being able to have the energy and be productive in life!
I’m in school to become a master esthetician and I want to be my best and own my own business at the end of this. excited to be physically and mentally healthier and stronger, and just be a better mom and more motivated individual.

My day 38 was the first day back in the world after 37 days of being in a treatment center. I remember those days well. Seemed like the world was much more alive than I had remembered. Colors were more brilliant. Sounds were more complex. I was experiencing everything in its fullness.
I also remember realizing that our society here where I live revolves heavily around alcohol and inebriation. I returned to work and had to plan out my drives to avoid the gas stations I was so used to stopping at. I ended up resorting to being in a constant state of prayer. The Big Book calls it a “conscious contact with God.” Just one continuous open-ended conversation with the Almighty.
On my drives home I would just repeat out loud “Thank you for keeping me sober. Thank you for keeping me sane. Thank you for keeping me sober. Thank you for keeping me sane.” Over and over and over, the whole way home. I knew that if I could just make it home and close the door behind me that I’d be okay. The victory of making it home would be another accomplishment to add to my belt and would boost my morale for the rest of the day.
That’s what worked for me - a conscious contact with our creator, the grand architect of the universe.
Thanks for letting me share.
PS - I forgot the exciting part… I’ve been doing Krav Maga for almost 3 years now as a part of my recovery plan. I’ve decided I want to become an instructor in order to teach people how to get and stay in shape and how to protect themselves. I’ll be starting an instructor course (includes attending 1,000 hours of Black Belt classes) after my Brown Belt test this autumn.
Sobriety has given me the opportunity to become an expert in fight, fitness, and self-defense, and the opportunity to help train others to be the best they can be. It’s a dream come true. Without my faith in God none of it would be possible.
Thanks.

I’m proud of you! You’re doing a great job 
You have a long-lasting life ahead of you. What a humbling spirit. You will own a business of your own as an esthetician. Keep that faith of a mustard seed and never give up on your goals. I believe in you, your kids are proud to have you as a their mother. God is going to make a way for you. Matthew 4:4

Wow, I love that for you! You have a strong connection with God and God took his hand over your life. Things have changed back then and now it is worse than usual. Society is surround by drugs and other drug substance. We aren’t perfect, I know people are willing to stay sober and change their lives because of God. Especially when we are called to change & start a new beginning in life. Keep doing those amazing things in your life! It is funny how I was thinking about kick-boxing yesterday. I actually workout as well. You would be an awesome instructor to help, serve and lead others. Continue to keep that faith, striving for better things and God is proud of you!!

What excites me is my path back to improve my running and fitness form and seeing how it improves over time, cooking and eating smart is another thing which is fulfilling both mentally as well as physically right 
getting into better shape, it’s a continuous journey and I’m excited to start focusing on improving some specifics of my soft skills set.
