Grateful for 200 days... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Grateful for 200 days without the drink, and...

My new eye glasses have my vision back in balance and seems to help with my dizziness\anxiety a bit, especially while driving.

Shopping for outer-wear at salvation army stores; cargo pants and a 50\50 silk\cotton polo for $12 ... not bad at all.

Weight is down to 185 from a peak 200, so a good (reliable) 10 lbs. drop, with some exercising here and there and working around the house.

(Incognito)

New tools (Big YES!) and some jobs to use them on; Running electrical, putting an A\C unit in the wall...

AC in. Cleaning up a switch box that's been a mess since 1950 (I guess), had to cut a huge hole pull the wires loose from the stud... darn staples too.

Relocated light switch, patched the wall

Finished it up, oh and I ran a 20amp line to the AC.. just 'cause.
