Acheleus

So today is 40 days of no drinking or smoking and I am feeling better than I did yesterday, I am trying to lose weight and feeling frustrated that the pounds are not coming off, but I am building more muscle. Today I thought about how much I drank and my counselor told me my family history gives a new meaning to the word "dysfunction." She told me to take it easy on my self, and that I should be proud of myself for trying to get better at living. So today I am grateful for everyone on SR and I hope everyone out there in the struggle is staying mentally and emotionally healthy through this thing. I know I am still early in sobriety but these past 40 days have felt like a century, and it does feel good to have more time to do the things I used to love and care about.
