I've been sober, calmer and been taking care of my stuff a lot more these last few weeks. And it made me feel as if I've never really been in control before. Learning to discover myself again. It feels as if I was a car an somebody else was driving the whole time, before now, making me take decisions I wouldn't have without being completely straight and self-aware.

I am now wondering if I'll ever be able to see this clear and stay true to myself even when I have another crisis or am under any kind of stress in the future.

DAE came to this realization? Did it make you more careful and more aware of your actions, even while going through rough patches?
