Thanks Dee I hope that's true for me too. Just need to be more patient. 12 years of drinking, and 1 month sober. I'm not gonna feel better overnight. It's so weird that I need to 'learn to live' again. I need to learn about food, and how much to eat and when, sleep, housework, buying clothes and not wearing moth-eaten old rags! I'll get there in the end!
I went to a gig for the first time in ages today and it was really nice to hear people go 'bloody hell, you look healthy!'. I know I looked like shite before, so that's a bit of an ego boost :-)
