Is this something that others have experienced?
Real life is my honeymoon now.
I've had ups and downs physically in the 11 months (yesterday) that I have been sober. I went through withdrawal then significant PAWS. Eventually things evened out and I consider myself a healthy 40 year old with what are basically 40 year old "problems."
Not drinking and working a strong program, plus focus on sleep, nutrition and finally exercise (running) as I was able (along with working an active job)....keep me going.
As I've said often around here, my crappiest day sober is much (MUCH) better than any day drinking.
