Have not posted in a bit so thought I'd check in. Just sitting around listening to Celtic music and reading and thinking how my daze and nights and life are going now compared to before--no shakes sweats, throwing up brushing my teeth, swilling my first morning drink followed by all the others, really my only "hobby" and "occupation". It's like being a "normal" person or at least playing the role. Every little thing is so hugely different. Wonder if I'll ever get used to it and hope I never take it for granted. Hope all are doing well.

Something that we ex drinkers have over people who have never been addicted is a heightened awareness, because we remember how it used to be, that fog of sickness and misery covering every single aspect of our lives.

So Glad to hear, Fitz, that things are bright and shiny for you. Congratulations.

I love seeing things that I didn't see before, They have always been there just not noticed them. Rather than walking looking at the floor I look up. Appreciating the beauty of nature and appreciating it and others. Just normal things that people take for granted but which mean so much to me now

Nice to see you posting again, Fitz. I agree, we get to marvel at what normal folks take for granted. That's a grateful treat.

I am enjoying the "no drama" aspect of sobriety

Thanks for posting my friend, good know you are good and still marveling at the wonders of life. Same here, non-drinker status quo.

I love normality. I am in early sobriety and everthing is a wonder to me. The weather, the chores, the sky, the feeling of freedom. Of course there are stresses and strains in my world too but normal stresses not stomach churning fears and dread.

I feel like a puppy dog on it's first walk out into the big wide world
