Day 30: Let's see how far we've come
It's been a month now since alcohol touched my lips.
I've lost a few pounds, although I've got a long way to go in that regard.
I've picked up some new healthier hobbies.
I've struggled with the side effects and shock to my body of not introducing alcohol to it.
I've become a better person.

Congratulations Michael, 30 days is commendable. I have been sober 9 1/2 months and I have experienced some of the same benefits of sobriety.
To date I can be grateful for the gifts that I...
- have lost 65 pounds,
- quit smoking 5 months ago,
- go to the gym 3-5 times a week and can once again play a full ice hockey game,
have reduced my golf handicap from 12 to 8,
- genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with my 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter,
- am actually friends with my ex-wife with no hard feelings,
- am able to date women and actually be honest about "everything",
- laugh at my brain when it tells me silly things like "you aren't an alcoholic", or "you should just kill yourself",
- have found a peace of mind that keeps me grateful when things are bad or good,
- am excited about staying sober and not drinking today.
I thank my higher power for the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and to those who came before me that were/are there for me when I need help.
