The darkness around your eyes is starting to fade because you are actually getting proper sleep.
Your dehydrated skin isn't peeling off your face anymore.
You actually go out everyday instead of hiding inside with a bottle.
You don't send angry psychotic messages to your family members or call them at all hours of the night.
You wake up and can actually get out of bed.
You don't have a constant burning throat and nausea anymore.
You don't have constant diarrhoea anymore.

Nothing is impossible!

Here's a few to get us started, but of course this thread is for everyone to add their own.
You know you are a recovering alcoholic if...
you're proud of yourself for eating breakfast.
you wake up without a hangover and think it's strange.
the most important thing on your to do list is to NOT drink and/or drug.
you suddenly realize that ALL of your friends are losers.
you suddenly realize that you were just as much of a loser.
you go to the grocery store to buy groceries and find yourself feeling lost and confused in the store even though you've been there 1000 times.
you're not sure what your favorite foods are anymore.
you realize that you actually hate all of your 'favorite' restaurants because you only went there to get smashed and upon sobering up you discover the food is TERRIBLE.
drunks suddenly seem like the biggest losers ever.
your bank account magically has more money in it.
you spend more time on SR than you used to spend drinking.
the to do list that never used to get shorter suddenly starts shrinking.

...you can accomplish what at one time seemed insurmountable.
