How I'm feeling

Feeling really in control right now, though I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes feel a bit regretful in these moments, for all the damage I've caused (mostly physical) to myself from drinking over years, especially the last two and half (daily, heavy drinking). To fall back into that is a scary thought.

I'm sure many if not all of us have given thought to the physical affects of alcohol, and we all carry a bit of fear of what happens when we drink... I just wish I didn't overthink all of this stuff so much and would just get on with living life and continuing to fight the good fight.

Feeling good, but just wanted to share. In thinking I might pick back up with some guidance/help I've sought over the years about not being so obsessive. Despite all if this I'm reminded of how much I owe it to myself to really let my body heal, don't give in and let things ease up.

Staying mindful that overthinking all of this won't help, is good for me. Day at a time will never get old, and that's just wonderful

We alcoholics tend to ruminate wayyyyyy over the top too much.

Analysis paralysis.

For me, I try to stay focused on happy, beautiful, joyous and free. The past is done, the future is an illusion. Being grateful in the moment is huge for me.

Kys, I know it's hard to let go of the anxiety about the physical damage we've caused ourselves. It's one of the many things we have no control over. It's done. All we can do is move forward. And, ultimately, no one has any guarantees of good health from one day to the next, so focusing on the day can really help.

If you're worried about potential damage the best thing you can do is see your Doctor, Kys. The second best thing is to continue to stay off the booze
