My friends in early recovery,
I'd just like to share with you something i became aware of whilst chatting to a friend.
During my drinking career and in early sobriety my nerves were shot and jangley. Irritabillity was suppressed in me like a pressure cooker, emotionally i was buttoned up because sometimes i was half-cut or hungover . I used to have to screw myself up tight inside to concentrate to just get through the day .
All of that has gone now, the whole of my life is relaxing rather than a hold it and sprint to the next chemical crutch, i feel like a long distance runner who has just got into his stride, no holding it in .. it's like the difference between a motorbike and a big V8 ..
380 days out and i'm still noticing things improving, When i say stick with it , it's for a reason
Bestwishes on your journeys, M
