Hello Sophia,
Yes, I remember coming here in spring of 2006 and it took me a long time to get my act together. I have been sober going on 17 months and like you, I have began to like myself quite a bit. It is so good never having to think about the substance, where to get it, when to consume it, trying to gauge the level of stupor, the lies, the missed opportunities, the daily sessions in self-hatred and the neverending physical discomfort. It has all gone away and will stay away as long as I never touch the stuff again.
It really was such a small price to pay for the contentment, enthusiasm and general good health that I am allowed to experience fully every day.
Be well.
Lori
