Oceanlady, I hope you heal quickly. When your nose doesn't feel quite right it effects your entire being.
I read the forums on this site regularly, even though I don't post much. I enjoy reading posts from people who are are day 1 or year 30. It is such a diverse group but with so many shared experiences.
I continue to run 3-4 times per week and log about 15 miles each week. My relationships with my wife and young daughter continue to grow and are so different than when I was drinking.
I can go days now without reminding myself that I'm an alcoholic or that I used to drink but no longer do. My life as a non-drinker is starting to feel like the "new normal". It's quite pleasant.
