Visible progess at 52 days :D

I went to the doctor today because of some throat irritation nothing major luckily.

My doctor knows all about my addiction and at the end he asked wether I was still using drugs. I said no, Im sober 52 days in total today, and he said thats why he was asking because I looked much better. And that he is happy for me Im finaly getting clean

This is coming from a doctor who not only has to be honest with me but whom I deeply respect as his work and interpersonal behavior just radiates intelligence and compassion.

No need to say Im feeling great. I know what he means, I have a totally new face now: more fat (I was too skinny before) no pimples, more glow, etc. And probably most importantly the spark in my eyes is back :slight_smile:

This is a lovely share! Well done, keep it going.
We have around the same sober times and I am so looking forward to going back to the doctors and saying I dont drink anymore.

52 days is absolutely amazing! Keep going — it really keeps getting better. You can be so proud of yourself!

I also notice for myself how, little by little, I’m starting to fill out the shell of the person I used to be — or maybe even becoming someone new.
