Good for you!
As for the weight, I've read that it takes a while for our bodies to adjust to not processing alcohol calories first, so it's not uncommon. I decided I wouldn't even weigh myself for the first month just in case the stupid thing tried to rain on my sober parade.
Onward!

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

This is great news and I'm not surprised you're feeling better. It's almost as if we're in denial about how TOXIC booze is, and then once we remove it for a few days, we feel much better. Eureka! Another breakthrough in addiction research! LOL!
Very glad to hear you're doing well. Keep the ball rolling!

....Go placidly amid the noise and the haste.....
I love that poem. Desiderata. My mom had it framed and hanging on the wall in our kitchen. As a child I remember reading it over and over as I ate my breakfast cereal. That was 40 years ago.
Thank you for reminding me of this poem. I Googled and reread it. It is worth the effort.
Congratulations on your progress. Stay strong.
