Red face Awake. Day 2.

So it's been a complete day of sobriety. Today is day 2. Woke up to some good tea and light yoga to try and balance myself. I must say, waking up with a clear mind has to be one of the best feelings I have had in a very long time. Many days, I would wake up dreading the night before and just wishing I was someone else instead of wishing for a better version of myself. All that negative thinking was only ever good for pulling me right back into what I hated in the first place -Drinking to forget.

I'm not sure how all of this works, really. I'm experiencing life for the first time in years. What I do know is that with much focus, determination, support and positive influence, I will achieve this and any other goal I set for myself.

Being sober and STAYING sober is a huge and important deal for me. Even more so, I want to focus on who I want to become now that I have the real me, not the drunk-can't-even-function-properly-me.

I lost such good people in my life but not only that, I lost myself and my inner peace, joy and happiness. I lost sight of all the beautiful things life has to offer and forgot the meaning of living in the moment SOBER.. and having gratitude for the little things and most importantly the Life I was given.

So, With that being said today will be devoted to focusing on the goodness around me. Eating clean, and good old exercise.

I can't remember the last time I've been able to enjoy the true goodness of an entire day and loved every minute of it.
I'm going to make today that day.

Love the Life you Live.
Live the Life you Love.

I wish you all much much love happiness and light. Stay strong my people.

Have an amazing Saturday!

That's great to hear. It's more than overcoming a "habit." It's an entirely new lifestyle. Live it with style!

Seeking out some type of F2F recovery may help you.
