Changes
 
I am noticing so many different changes in myself after 3 months sober.
1. I have more patience.
2. I am so tired all of time. I can sleep for 10 hours and still be tired. I never used to be like that.
3. My vision has changed. I made an appointment to get my eyes examined today because my script is off now.
4. I appreciate so much. People at work gripe because they are busy. I tell them I am blessed to have a job. Truth be known I am blessed to be alive
5. I went out to listen to a band a couple of times and the second time I went, I wanted to go home and go to bed. Funny that I use to want to stay until last call. The alcohol all around doesn't even bother me. No temptation.
6. I am terrified to get in a car when my friend has had a couple of drinks. I watch everything with scrutiny.
7. And this one is one of my favorites. I am beginning to like myself. Yes I said it. I like myself. Hang in there newbies.

awesome! My vision also changed. My eyesight was apparently mostly blurred from being chronically dehydrated. Actually I've noticed all the same changes as you. It's great right?

Also, even though I go to bed earlier I feel like I get more done in a day.
