SR is becoming a big part of my sobriety the knowing that I'm not alone feels good. I also volunteer with a peer assistance group that is part of state professional association for recovering alcoholics/addicts they are very similar to AA but my role is stictly administrative so it feels good w/o having to be involved as I'm not in their profession.

I'm just now (19 months sober) starting to exercise and eat right, the first year I ate massive amounts of M&M's and other junk food and gained 30 pounds! I was too skinny and needed to gain at least 10 and now I've lost 12.5 pounds so I just have 7.5 pounds to go to be at the weight I want to be.

I've also gotten involved in my neighborhood HOA and am on the board of directors something I never would have done while drinking because the meeting would have interferred with drinking.
