60 Days!!!
Who would have imagined. Thats what I have been saying to myself. 60 days sober. It's almost surreal. What can I tell you about being 60 days sober? Well I guess we should get right into this. Remember this is my experience and everyone of course will vary. However, maybe this will give at least one other a view to the future.
I basically am going to break this down into a three part series. Physical, Mental, and Spiritual. Lets begin!
1.) My physical state. I have always been somewhat in shape, but years of beer have hampered my potential tremendously. For the first 45 days my stomach was a complete mess. It still is somewhat. However no where near what it was. So, hang in there. Its a great feeling brushing your teeth and not gagging every other second.
I am losing weight but slowly. I have tons more energy now so its easier to lose the weight with a somewhat decent diet and daily light exercise. I am hoping the next 30 days I will see even more results, but I can say the results are showing.
2.) Spiritual. Well I am definitely learning to get back to my inner self and peace. I will exclude religion from this part as each individual varies. I cannot stress tho how important it is to focus on your spiritual well being. Go to church, meditate, reach self awareness. Whatever it is that you do follow it. I see that many fail at this part of recovery. I am worried that I will. However, I know this is a main part of recovery and I beg of you to at least give it attention. I wont speak much on this because it's really a personal thing to each individual. However, finding balance is something we all could use in our lives. Especially those of us in recovery.
3.) Mentally I have been in quite the shambles. Anxiety, depression, etc you name it I have felt it. This is a part of recovery I feel is going to take awhile. Tho at 60 days my Anxiety is slowly becoming better. However VERY slowly. My Love life has been all over the place and I have realized that I need to relax and let things happen and if its meant to be with someone it will be. Oh!!! One of the most important lessons that I have learned. ( Thanks to Dee for this one. ) Now this will sound INSANE Atm if youre new to recovery. (I thought Dee was a sick individual when was stated to me lol) But.... Enjoy this. Yes milestones are awesome and show us what we can achieve. However, learn to enjoy the journey of this. When you look back you will find such enlightenment. I know it sounds crazy. You just have to trust me on this one.
Anyways hopefully I will be posting a 90 days sober before you know it! Peace and Love to all!!!
