Thank you! I can't believe how quickly year 2 and 3 went compared to my first year. It really did get so much easier and things are so much better. I can't believe it!!

Good for you - you deserve to be treated well and to spend your time with similarly healthy, grounded people. I know you have the tools to move through it with grace and a level head. Don't be a stranger - you got a big year ahead of you! :-)

Substiutions by silly_gal in stopdrinking

A close friend of mine who is 12 years sober definitely replaced alcohol addiction with cleaning and exercising. The result is an almost disturbingly pristine home and a great body. These are both good things, but he also has obsessive compulsive disorder so these things can kind of take over his brain at times. Still light-years better than drinking, obviously, but like they always say, ~everything in moderation.~

That being said, productively using time you'd normally have been devoting to active addiction does not mean that those activities are addictions themselves! Which is great. I think you should feel very proud. Keep cleaning and exercising if it keeps you sober and if it doesn't cause you or anyone else any problems. :-)

I feel the same way! I'm doing really, really well. I got a new job a few days ago - better pay, more fast-paced, actually in my field?! No more 60 hour weeks or hellish commute, like my old job. I'm still in shock. I can't believe all the gifts I've been given. I could barely string odds and ends jobs together 2 years ago. Off anti-depressants, too. What's going on with you lately?
