I'm new to this forum and very happy to be here!
I've been sober for 5 months and WOW! - It feel like it's been 5 years! I am such a completely different person today, than I was 5 months ago, that it's truly amazing how I've been transformed in only 5 months. I never had a LIFE before and now it's so exciting for me! Instead of hiding from everyone and everything in an alcoholic, drunken stupor, now I'm LIVING. I feel wonderful, I have a completely different outlook, I know my life's purpose and I even have hobbies! Having hobbies may sound like a small thing to some, but for me it's tremendous. I'm learning to live my life out of my protective shell.
I can now see the absolute beauty in everything - the smell of fresh cut grass, the changing colors of the fall leaves, the wonderful smell of fresh brownies baking, the visible love in the eyes of people who care about me.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and that I'm looking forward to making new friends here.
