10 days today. I am in another state right now because I am having an elective surgery on Wed. for something I have been wanting to do and now had the time since have leave of absence from work. Can’t wait to get back to CA though because I know my meetings are important in my early sobriety. There are meetings here too I’m sure but the doctor wants me to stay inside and rest so don’t catch a cold or something.

Thank you. There is minimal healing after the surgery so that should be quick. It’s pretty minor. It was so nice to wake up today without a hangover. The hangovers set me back physically and emotionally for about 2 days, it was really bad. So nice to wake up with my body feeling normal and balanced.

It's sooo nice to live without hangovers. I was existing in a perma-hangover....I just felt bad all the time. I felt so bad that I thought it was just normal to feel horrible all the time. There's no comparison to being able to get up in the morning, feel great, eat a nice breakfast and head to work.

It was so nice today being able to calmly Uber (since I am in another state) to my preop appt. I knew deep down that had I drank at the airport or yesterday, this whole thing could have been screwed up because my life would have shifted from a calm, no drinking one to an unpredictable, chaotic drinking one. I have realized how happy and at peace I am when not drinking and how immediately miserable and restless I become when drinking because everything (thoughts and behaviors) are focused around the next drink.

Now 11 days. At the end of my last drinking days, I started to do very irrational things. So glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore. Life is so much calmer and peaceful sober. Can’t wait to get back to my meetings once my surgery is over and I am back home in CA on Friday.
