Life still has its problems

My life still has it's problems even now that I'm sober. The problems seem easier to handle and I'm not creating my own new problems because I'm drunk.

I was in a major car accident this week where my car was totaled. I've been sober for over a month now. I'm really glad I wasn't hungover or still drunk from the night before when it happened. Thankfully, everyone walked away practically unharmed but there's a lot of new problems to deal with in the aftermath.

I have handled this event much better than I would have if I was still drinking.

I know it's realistic to feel depressed after a loss like this but I also feel that I can recover from this event and continue to move in a positive upward direction in my life. I don't know if I would feel the same if I was still in my destructive drinking cycle.

I hope that everyone here continues to have success in their sobriety and I hope you're able to overcome life's challenges one day at a time.

Thanks for all the support.
