I'm starting to have better recollection of my dreams. I used to be really into 'dream work' before started drinking. Its nice to drift out of a dream in the morning instead of being burdened by physical and emotional hangovers.

Look foward to actually spending good QUALITY time w/ The Lord instead of feeling it as a chore. Not failing to mention all the while doing this most of the time hungover

That more people don't drink in many situations than do. I always thought everyone in the lounge was just as liquored up as me! Surprise!! Just a few...thankfully I am not one of them anymore.

That my life is worth something, and I don't want to miss it by numbing out.

I don't have to run into the house to use the bathroom before I even close the front door.

My senses of taste and smell were really numbed by the booze. Now they're back and wonderfully sharp.

I have been single for about five years. I have low self-confidence and image/weight issues. I always told myself the reason I didn't have a bf was because I was too fat/ugly. (In fact I am only slightly overweight and probably average to slightly above average looking)

This week for the first time I realised maybe I was single because no one wants to date the messy drunk girl. Sleep with her, sure. Bring her home to meet your mother? No way.

No more red face!!! Sence of humor back, I feel like I will be ok in the future instead of fearful of never being anything

I noticed how much easier it is to accept a compliment. The niggling self-doubt is not there to neutralize the compliment so it goes straight to my heart. It means a lot.

I notice how the lawn looks better and there really are flowers growing in the yard, my SO would always curse me out when I finally got around to weeding, mostly because everything was so overgrown I'd indiscrimanetly yank all of it out , never knowing what was a weed or a flower! LOL
