Hmm lets see
Participating in life versus being alone and withdrawn from everyone and everything
Sleeping even if its not great
Eating and enjoying food
Not feeling like heck when I wake up and searching for a drink
Not on the crazy train of buying , hiding and all the paranoia of a binge
Not retching and worse
Remember yesterday
Being present today and in the moment
Not smelling like a liquor store
Regaining some self esteem
Can drive when I want to
Can look at myself in the mirror and not shudder
Being able to enjoy laughter
Being able to work effectively
Saving money
Seeing I can be someone I like and other can too
Hmm lots more but it also creates some new challenges like how to live life sober ....strange territory as well but hmm change and strange can be good !
