Nice share Tasha. The reflection I saw early on didn't sit well with me or others, at least not at first. My sober demeanor was far more disturbing than it was sobering. I was angry, resentful and full of myself, literally. So I had to change or die trying. I got my first real breakthrough in sobriety after about 5 years clean. I didn't know what happened or how I came to believe, but what I did experience was a sense of belonging, finally. After 3 years of constant turmoil and 2 more years trying just to stay alive everything started to turn for me, thank God. I was finally able to re-commit my life after that and become the person I always wanted to be. But only after my life altering experience. So my suggestion is quite simple; stay focused, stick close to the winners and then wait for the miracle to happen, which it will. Your humble, committed and willing to do the next right thing; now all that's left is 'the breakthrough'. It will happen dear, just wait and see.

I feel good. My life is manageable because I have a higher power and the tools of AA. I'm not elated all the time, and I'm not a grouch either. I'm just somewhere in between... mellow and smiling.
I always said I would quit drinking some day. Sometimes that day was tomorrow, sometimes it was yesterday... but it was always some day that wasn't today, and my glass reflected that.
The good news is... some day, is today! Again! Yippee - I'm here! I made it to some day!
It's a good day to turn into some day.
