Today is a new day!
I woke early this morning and was just happy. No other word for it, no reason. I realized each day is a new beginning all over again. I have always loved the quote, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." Today it really hit home. I am where I want to be. I am sober, getting healthier every day and feeling good about who I am and what I am doing. Working out every day this summer in the pool has made my body so much stronger. As many of you know a little over a year ago I crushed part of my back bone, and was not sure I would ever heal. I am healing, but more important then my body healing is my mind and my soul. I am so thankful for all of you here in SR that have helped me along the way. SR is my support system, and it works. My mind is clear and I feel so positive. I never would have believed I could get to where I am today, and if I can, anyone can. I have a long history with alcohol, and I am no spring chick. But life is good. Please if you are reading this, know today can be the beginning of your new life. Thanks for taking time to read this. Big hugs and I am always here if you need me.

I'm feeling pretty fine & dandy today too.
You really you do feel the benefits of not pouring pints & pints of low strength poison into your system (fancy that eh).
Two people told me I was in a good mood today as i was unconsciously singing to myself in the kitchen at work.
I guess this is how normal people feel all the time.

thanks Huntington! I love waking up and reading these posts right off the bat! It really gives encouragement on those days where I may not feel so great...to keep hanging in and moving forward!
Glad to hear that your back is healing as well
