I notice how nice it is to stay up later in the eve. And enjoy tv,a book or knitting. 6mo. Ago today I would lie on the couch wiped out, wanting just to go to bed at 8pm!

Eating lunch with my coworkers. Always too hungover so stayed in my office and ate at my desk. What a bozo. Life is good.

I remember that feeling!!! All of a sudden I could eat lunch with the coworkers, what a blessing that was. Then they got annoying and I eat by myself alot again. Now it is a choice though! Thank god for sobriety

I notice that things like cooking and food shopping aren't that hard.
If I could shop for vodka and mix martinis then I can cook and food shop!

I must be emitting a certain vibration, as I have people opening up to me left and right and I am in tune with this spiritual experience. I have never experienced anything like this and the honesty and authenticity is amazing. I love being genuine!

I've noticed how much I appreciate sunny nice days. Today I can sit outside on days like that and fully absorb how comforting it is. When I was using I did not care at all what the weather was like, I think I actually preferred crappy days because I thought If I had to feel that bad then so did everyone else.
