56. Seeing my personality come back to life, laughing again. Feeling like "me" again.

57. Having the freedom to think about things other than alcohol, not being obsessed about either 'I can't wait to drink. what will I drink. Do I have enough in the house? etc.' or 'How can I get through this night without a drink?'
58. The energy to take my dog Chloe on the daily long walks that she needs.

61. To get out of this depressing hole I am in. I have seen the light before and I can see it again.

62. To loose 30 lbs I have put on from drinking 2 bottles a night. I bet I can drop it like nothing flat if I quit drinking!

63. If I feel like crap. I feel like crap - not because I've poisoned myself the night before. I have freedom over shame and guilt.
