All the good things that are happening in my life are attributed to my being sober. It hasn't lessened the bipolar but actually brought it into the light so I can see it and take care of it. I love your honesty in admitting your highs and lows were worse when drinking/using. I am way more manic now that I'm sober which is better than being depressed. I hate the downer of the duo. There are so many miracles in sobriety, it's the best trip I've ever been on. Life is supersweet.
