Gained;
Over 50 k
Self esteem
Self respect
A love of life

Lost;
55 lbs
Depression

I am no different than you. I see the light of sobriety and it grows brighter every year. Patience...
Take away two things, there is always hope and it can be done.

I thank you Mother Russia. I kept my promise made at your feet.

Not quite there yet.

But I'm coming up on a year. Have changed careers. Dating. Lost 45 pounds. Blood pressure in control. Resting pulse has gone from 95 to 72 bpm. Sleeping with almost no reliance on sleep meds, this time last year I was taking a fistful.

I don't much concentrate on how horrible my life was when I drank. That kept me on the wagon for the first 90 days or so. No I think how better life is when sober.
