day 180

WEEEEHEEEEW!

well i don't want to get too excited. i'm an alcoholic and getting excited can get me in a lot of trouble.

i was so sick! my first 6 weeks i was bed ridden. but now! i can ride my bicycle and quite a long way and come home and think i probably could do that again. i am physically changing. i like fruit now, but i also like cream soda too, so it's not all jack lalanne.

i have to remember that today is today and that's what i have. i am but a young pup in sobriety. but i like today and want to stay right here and not go back nor do i want to hurry it along. i try and remember what got me this far and most of that is patience.

well i was happy and wanted to post this. in ten minutes i could be on the phone to my sponsor talking about why am i feeling so bad... he typically says cause i am an alcoholic and want it all to be about me... hehehehehehe and he's right.

anyway, i put the dancer thing since i can actually do that now.

Congratulations Nodl5! It is truly amazing how quickly our bodies can recover from years of abuse if we stop while there is still time.
