some more for today...
 
strange thing. I just went to lunch with some co-workers. I sat in the back seat. I was looking at the landscape, the buildings and trees, etc, and was noticing how much clearer and brighter things look today. It was a very cool feeling. I felt happy just for that. Still don't have much confidence tho, on day 6...

I think it's great that you are noticing small, positive changes in your life. And, in a way it's good to not have too much confidence. Just focus on the day and know that you can get through it.

That clearness and brightness will only get better....as you work towards it.

Congrats of 5 sober days!

I'm on day 5 too. Feeling a bit sorry for myself today, but one thing I noticed yesterday is that I was looking people in the eyes more. Just something small.

Believe it or not what I've found after day 5 is I'm happy and I'm actually smiling more. I'm even saying hello to people when I walk by them instead of having my head down at the ground. I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time.

Cool that you are looking people in the eye, cambridge. That's a good change...
