I notice the favor of food is sharper, more satisfying and remembered the next day!

I remember what I did yesterday and the day before... Vision also seems to be getting better, colors appear more bright and vibrant.

I notice things that used to overwhelm don't so much now.

I noticed that I don't get my butt chewed out when I weed the yard, as I now am able to discern what is a plant from a weed! Stay Strong and Well! Bobby

I remember the books I read at night (can't tell you the number of time I reread the same pages/chapters because I was too drunk to recall where I left off/what happened).

I'm less annoyed with things that seemed like nails on a chalkboard before. My vision is much clearer, my memory is better, I don't feel like **** when I wake up, and there's more money in my savings account.

I am much more even tempered and able to handle what life throws at me.

I notice that I love the early mornings and all I need to start the day is a cup of black coffee. To be honest I used to drink when I woke up on weekends. Totally don't miss that feeling in the morning. Day 03 and going strong.

I noticed a lot more 'normal' people just don't drink.

I notice that it isn't that my 4 year old son is distant and doesn't love me, it is that I wasn't clear headed enough to see what he really needs from me and how to love him in the right way.

when I go to the grocery store with a mental list, I remember what I am there for.
