Today is 15 days sober. My list of the good and bad
The good
Sleep thru the night
More energy
More family time
Learning new hobbies
Drinking lots more water
Enjoying my fur baby more
The bad
Kowing I’m an alcoholic and my brain isn’t wired like a person that’s able to have a drink or 2 and be able to stop
That’s it! That’s the only thing!!! And yet the thought of drinking still pops up. It’s crazy that we have fed our minds and body for so long on something that gave us nothing but took a lot. I’m just looking to go to bed tonight sober. I’ll worry about tomorrow when I wake up
Early rising (enjoyed the solstice)
Getting my car fixed
Actually opening my mail
Not having to worry if I sound drunk on the phone
Not staying up until ungodly hours
No hangovers
… I could go on
The bad:
Still zero energy. Like slept most of the weekend. I thought my energy would return if I quit the drink.
Great work on 15 days @Whomsoever and @Badger!! I slept so much for along time early on. When you think about what we put our bodies through. I expected the whites of my eyes to go back white instead of grey quite early on. Noooo! Literally this last two months I have noticed that they are white again and sparkly and I’m at nearly 500 days! Our bodies are all different and we will all recover in different areas at different times but just go gentle with yourself. If you are tired, nap! You’re doing fantastic, soon you are going to feel re energised!
