The Bumps and Bruises of Life
So, as I assume everyone here can relate to, when I was drinking, I was fairly oblivious to pain and injury. So now that I'm closing in on two months sober, I am increasingly aware of how much injuries actually hurt. And also, I am discovering that my 40 year old body just doesn't bounce back that quickly anymore. I am still struggling with the last injury from my final bender. My foot is fractured from stumbling over a chunk of concrete that was out in the courtyard where I take my dog at night. I was on day two of my taper when the pain pf that injury crept up on me. But I also have a few injuries from other equally uninteresting accidents. Has anyone else discovered in sobriety that they are suddenly borderline overwhelmed by the physical pain that they hadn't been feeling?
