Well, I don't feel like a stumbling, drunken failure anymore. I have goals and achievements that don't involve opening cans or bottles. Those are all pretty good things, I guess.
I'm normal-sized and muscular instead of bloated, fat, weak and sick. People treat me better, either because I look better or have more confidence, maybe both.. I'm not worried about my health all the time.
I spend a lot of my time on getting better at things I want to be good at, so I'm improving, at "stuff". Better? yeah, s'pose so.
I guess it all depends on what you mean by "better." I'm not dating anyone right now, so maybe I'm doing really poorly -- maybe that's the gauge of having things on the right track? It's pretty uncomplicated, that part is nice. And I don't make more money than I did when I was drinking, but I'm not worried about getting canned, either.
Life is what you make of it, I'm sure some people get sober and have a horrible time. For me it was a big relief. Drinking had taken over, it really squeezed a lot of cool stuff out for a long time.
Oh and I just hit a
PR on low-bar squat just this afternoon, so . . I have that going for me.
