It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I would get on here with some updates. Today is 8 full weeks sober. I don't think about drinking anymore but I do dream about it during my sleep. I'm getting used to doing everything sober which has its pros and cons. I used to have to spend my whole weekend buzzed, drunk, or hungover. Now I'm clear-headed, well-rested, and sometimes bored. I used to have a drink to deal with stress from the work week or boring people at social events...now I have to endure these times sober.
My relationships are generally much better, I'm far less irritable, and have newfound patience. I find joy in simple things like washing my car and eating ice cream. My running is coming along, my blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is nice and calm, most of the time.
I'm starting to recover from my past, slowly and surely. I stay close to my sobriety but don't obsess over it.
This is my recovery, so far.
Thanks for listening and for your support!
