Having read Lance's post I'm encouraged to add another though about recovery.

I just wrote in Morning Gratitude ...
I'm 60 so I'm at an age when you might expect that I'd be slowing down a bit physically and mentally. I'm very healthy, I work full time as well as run my home and although I don't have the energy to go out and rage in the evenings, I don't feel I've slowed down particularly.

Mentally I am getting sharper all the time and I believe this is twofold: I'm physically healthier and I'm always hydrated and nourished. Every three to six months I can feel the brain fog lift a little more.

Those of you who are younger than me have even more benefits to look forward to, so don't think it's a matter of stopping drinking and feeling better because you aren't drinking. Recovery rewards pay compound interest.

I completely agree, Marcher. Very helpful post.

It sounds like you have a very positive attitude, and that is so important.

Yeah, and you can't get compound interest anywhere any more.

I'm at 20 months, and you're right - it does keep getting better.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks, Marcher! You are an inspiration to me! Your positive attitude and fortitude in the face of life's "little" challenges is wonderful.
