One thing I've realized in the short time I've been sober is how horribly I have taken care of myself. I'd work until exhaustion and "reward" myself by drinking until I could shut down. Now, I refuse to exhaust myself at work or at home: my sobriety is too important. Going to bed early with a good book helps me. And I love treats! Some of my favorites include: Perfume, new workout clothes, shoes, makeup, ice cream
, sleep, patting myself on the back. I also just bought myself a new outfit for Christmas to reward myself for not drinking. (Clearly, I'm making up for lost time here with the spoiling)!
