Things I've noticed...
The things I've noticed or changes in my life since I quit drinking;
1. I no longer feel ill in the mornings
2. I know what I did last night
3. I don't embarrass myself (as much!)
4. I am no longer depressed!! I had major depression and now have none.
5. My husband isn't drinking as much. He used to drink daily and has only drank a few days in the last 4-5 weeks.
6. My kids have noticed I am happier, which makes them happier.
7. I've lost some weight
8. I have got back into exercise and watch what I eat
9. I no longer feel ashamed of my past
10. I am more productive all around.
Things I miss about drinking...hummm, I guess I don't miss it....

17. I've noticed I can be silly with my kids and husban now. I caught myself laughing and thought how odd it sounded to me. I was actually suprised by the sound. It's a good thing. 
18. I know what it means to be grateful.

Hi Fraankie I got 17.
17. When someone comes up and starts talking to me, I actually know and can remember who they are.

"18. I can face life's problems SOBER, and deal with them instead of hiding.
19. I love myself, and don't hate who I am anymore."
---Yep! It is amazing. The things that used to be HUGE problems are not so huge anymore, making it easier for one to deal with.
Loving yourself, something that changes with sobriety. You no longer hate yourself for what you were, but love yourself for who you've become Good ones!
