Congratulations Jewel!
It rained all day here today...which was kind of nice, I spent the afternoon reading and listening to some podcasts about finding joy in sobriety. I'd never really thought about it that way before, I'd always thought of it as being deprived, something being taken away, instead of it being an opportunity to enjoy life more.
When I'm drinking all day long like I usually do, I have no energy, I feel unwell and crabby, I call into work sick, and I never do anything fun. It should have seemed obvious to me that I'm missing out on life, but I guess I was always too busy drinking and subsequently becoming too depressed to care...
I'm glad I got another chance to try...8 days tonight and I'm feeling pretty good
