I am so happy for you, and it's true. A sober body really does feel too good. The last day or two, I've been pondering how much better I feel without drinking. I'm more joyful, patient with people, active, energetic, and the options of life seem limitless, like I could fly. I read somewhere from someone on SR that the initial "high" of sobriety fades, and then eventually you have to deal with all the stuff that lies underneath. I'm only barely a week sober, but I don't want to hang onto that kind of mentality, even though I know I have things to deal with. If the hard stuff does come, then I'll deal with it then. But as far as health and wellness is concerned, I want to keep a positive perspective that every day is going to be just wonderful! Things do come up that trigger certain emotional responses, but I try to just observe them and then let them go. It's no use hanging on to something that's only going to extract life, rather than feed life.

Best,

Abby
