Name one word that best describes your sobriety

For me, that word is 'patience.'

It's one thing that I have noticed above all the others while I have been sober. I didn't initially sense this but as time went on I feel it.

There was a certain anxiety that alcohol gave me that isn't there anymore. Now I can be more patient with my actions. If it can wait I let it wait. If it cannot wait I do it right away. When before when I drank I always thought everything had to be done right away. It was very taxing to my energy level.

"Freedom", "honest" would be a close second.

I would have to say "conscious". More conscious contact with the world, my HP, and my spiritual inner-self.

Because I am only on day three... I can say "exhausting", but give me a couple of days and I am sure it will change :-)
