This is such a beautiful story of triumph and recovery. I am so glad that you are loving sobriety. I totally relate to all of this. Joy of missing out - all the way.

There was a time for the drugs to be useful, well maybe not totally useful, but I do think that they aided some small parts of my life. Pain that I didn't want to feel yet. Now, being older and free from the shackles is where the true peace lies.
