conv: Having a baby caused me to have a more optimistic view on life. Having a baby 3 months ago really changed my view on life for the better. Oh awesome!  Congrats!!!!  How has it changed life for you? I was a heavy drinker_comma_ and looking back now_comma_ I know I was in a downward spiral_comma_ I just couldn't tell at the time. Now I'm pursuing my education and have become much more healthy and responsible. That's really fantastic!  I'm glad to hear you turned your life around.
