  • not living a double life any more (not hiding my behaviours)
  • not being alienated from my humanity (in my addiction, I live in non-human ways; in my recovery, I live as a human being)
  • my relationships are better; all of them - my marriage, my friendships, my family - all my relationships are better

  1. Having energy and not being as unfocused at work and such; I’m more productive since using my drug of choice would just result in me masturbating for hours on end lol
  2. Enables me to do gym, as it’s dangerous to workout while on my drug of choice
  3. Girlfriend is happy that I finally quit my drug of choice as she doesn’t do drugs; her trust in me staying sober is improving and no longer needs to worry so much

• the simple things in life being good enough again. Not always chasing something MORE that didn’t even really exist with booze and drugs
• feeling real happiness and experiencing laughter again . My smile and laugh were very fake for a very long time
• realizing I don’t need to drink and use to be liked by people. There are plenty of people who like me without it and those who don’t I don’t want to be around anymore anyways
