Being sober part 2

I (30m) have been sober for over 2 years now and came to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason I have went to therapy, I have went to AA meetings as well pretty much done things that other people recommend me doing to help me grieve the life I use to have but being honest the best thing that happened to me was getting closer to the almighty, growing up I was in a toxic environment parents would argue everyday, me and my siblings would fight over the stupidest things ever, so growing up I thought that was normal until I got to the age of 15 and picked up my first beer that's when my drinking problem began. Getting wasted every weekend up until 2022 when my life changed drastically getting waking up by 3 cops and telling to get up and put your hands behind your back was not fun especially ring hungover/drunk still story behind that I had threatened my ex wife now that I was going to kill her. I didn't even know what was going on I just complied, I was so confused into what was going on fast forward 2 weeks after that happened I stopped drinking went to the gym twice a day just to kill one pain and endure a different one. Yes my ex wife left took the kids removed herself from the lease to the apartment we were in and I also lost my job as well all within those 2 weeks I had hit rock bottom at that point, oh and I got a protective order in place as well. I didn't know how bad it was until I read those papers with the allegations of me. Mind you l'm not a violent person I've never gotten a ticket in my life but alcohol did take control of my body and lost control of it when I drank. I almost took my life away held a gun to my head and told myself what's the point of living anymore if I lost it all. But at that very moment I heard a voice loud and clear and made me change my mind in an instant. I changed my ways my bad habits I didn't even know I had until pointed out by people, learned that some people need to learn the hard way in order to make changes in there life's and I was one of those people. Now I'm just trying to move forward with my life and finally finding myself again! And I finally learned that you don't need alcohol to have fun. You just need to learn to identify who is there for you and you isn't and remove them from your life completely, you need to learn to be independent go out by yourself and don't worry about anything else. I've been told why worry about what other people thing of you it's not like there paying your bills or helping you out in any way. I have finally learned to love myself again and looking forward to this new chapter of mine!! Stay blessed don't loose hope and always remember to keep going strong always!! Better days are to come I promise yall that.

P.s sorry for being to long as well
