Folks, I went 3+ weeks sober and when my blood results on my liver came back normal I fell off my wagon.
I've done that....at one point I thought sobriety was only about getting my physical health back to a semblence of normality.

I didn't even think about the mental recovery!

Now, I don't attach all that much importance to physical recovery; I don't feel I've quit to save my liver or have my skin tone return or lose the beer belly. I have quit to get my sanity back. I notice I take care of my body much better now, as a natural result of being a more mentally stable person. Hope that makes sense....
