a day in paradise

Got up this morning, feeling really good. No shaking, no sweating, no running to the bathroom. Could actually stand without feeling like I am standing on an earthquake. Could drink a glass of water without spilling half of it. No watching the time, waiting for the liquor stores to open up. No chance of a DUI or embarrassing myself in liquor stores, people staring at me. Doing boring chores at home and feeling good about it. Nothing exciting going on, but doesn't matter. Not having to deal with all of the above is good enough for me. Almost feels like I'm on vacation. Don't know how long this will last but for today, I don't care. I know all too well how fast this can change, so I am just trying to enjoy the moment. Feel very thankful today.
Hope everybody is doing well, and having a great weekend!!!!!!

Awesome to hear 2much! While we were drinking away the crap feelings the good ones were being masked too.

And it just keeps getting better I'm still grateful every morning when I wake up a year and 5 months later for the peace and serenity I feel in my life. Thank you for sharing this inspiration about how you are doing

When I read a post like this, 2much, it makes me think of someone who has come back from the dead.

You are living life as it is meant to be lived. So so happy for you.

It's just nice being able to post some good news for a change, it it wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for you guys. It's just nice to know that there are actually people out there that occasionally think about me and rooting for my success. Means more than I can say. Looking forward to another grateful day tomorrow. Might even treat myself to a few days at the beach next week. Suppose to be a festival going on next Friday. Sounds like fun. Have a great evening.

Good for you 2 much pain. I loved your description especially about the liquor store I would be so embarrassed even if I rotated them, I still felt they were counting the bottles and judging me.

Have a peacefilled day

Great news 2much, I knew you would feel better ! It' makes me smile hearing you moan about the mundane things we allowed ourselves to ignore so long when we were using, it may not be the most fun in the world to do them now , but we manage and i'm sure your place looks wonderful! Stay Strong and Well ! My friend! Bobby
