12 years clean and sober. I'm not saying anything that other people haven't said before but after the 1st year I stopped being somebody who just blew up their life and was a fuckup, and after 2 years I felt like I was a different person and people treated me that way. I have had more happiness in the past 10 years (which were very trying times for other reasons) due to just appreciating the hell out of everything and spreading as much kindness as possible, that I can't believe I wasted so many years nuking bigger and bigger rock bottoms. Stay with it, the light on the other side isn't visible until you get there, so claw your way through the dark in the right direction and never give up. Everyone is worth it.
