People have to get used to the sober you just as much as you do. :)

I even had one of my clients who I used to argue with a lot write me one day and say "what??? you haven't gone soft on me have you? Fight with me! That's all you have to say??" and it made me feel great.

There will be an adjustment period for everyone, but they'll soon come to appreciate the sober, happy you just as you have. :)

Isn't it great to know that you don't have to own anyone's shit but your own and no one can rob you of your joy unless you give it up?

Ive got real quite. Ive always been shy i think i just have a long way to go to really feel normal. I think im kinda scared

I have recently felt the most sane and sober person among those around me - I am sure it is not self delusional

When you finally get sober/your life in some order you start being very aware that others dont have this - in my case even those who have helped me so much through the bad times

Stay your positive self - dont let the bs grind you down

Sometimes when we change, we have expectations that others will follow suit. They are ok where they are. You have to stop depending on others to keep your positive attitude up. You are changing. They are getting used to the new you.

we all muddle through life in our own waders. i always look on the bright side........catch me any morning and i am whistling pythons "brighter side of life"........

comments often bother those who don't have an open mind. feel good about you and your attitude. and continue "muddling" through. :)

Good days and bad day's or more like good moments and bad moments, it's all how you look at it. You can start your day over at anytime. Learn to detach from people, maybe go to an alanon meeting, to learn detachment. People do crazy crap all the time, now it doesn't bother me like it use to and it's getting better the longer that I am sober and working on myself. "cleaning house".

Those people that feel like they have to do some leveling when you're in a good mood have their own issues that they're dealing with. It's not necessarily any kind of reflection on you, sometimes people just want everyone else to be miserable too.

Usually there is some passive aggressive anger going on there.
Then there are those who figure out what your weak areas are and when you're at your most vulnerable they strike and get in a good jab. Those are the types I've been dealing with lately.

I just have to get stronger in my love for myself and not let that type of thing eat at me.
I agree with Mike's comment about people doing crazy crap all the time.
If I'm sober I can consider the source and not let it hurt me.
