4 Weeks and very pleased

I am very happy today, I really feel as though I have a handle on this new way of life. I've been getting outside much more lately. When I was drinking I really just wanted to stay inside and watch TV or movies etc... Now I have this desire to get out and walk and ride bikes and go for drives. It's awesome! I actually walked across the Columbia river bridge and back today. That is one big river, I always thought it would be fun to do and today I did it.

Everybody have a great weekend!

Be real, Be nice & Behave :-)

(I've always told my kids that when they leave the house to go do something)

Grats!!
Its so funny you mention driving as something you now enjoy.
I used to hate driving at night bc I was always driving around semi drunk.
Now I love going places in the evening

Yep, not drinking unlocks real living again doesn't it?

Four weeks is great! Your post made my day. Thank you.

It's great to rediscover the sober world isn't it? Love it.

You take care, and remember, it only gets better.
