The small great things about being sober
Since being sober i've been noticing loads of things that have improved my life that i never realised were even caused by being an alcoholic.
Weight (already lost some this week according to WiiFit!)
Recycling
Fresh mornings
Less knackered
Saving loads of cash
No shaving rash!!
Started weight lifting again
Walking to shops rather than lazy driving
puffy eyes going
can be bothered to shower
healthy craps again
piles gone (grim)
Any more you can think of?

night sweats and nightmares... gone!
and i'll completely agree about the new joys of having a significantly healthier digestive system.
and my nose isn't red and swollen anymore.
all good stuff!

Great post. I love reading and reaffirming the benefits of sobriety.
One I'd like to add is Time. I have so much more of it now and I can get so much more done.
(Although it can sometimes be a double edged sword when I get bored!)

My tastebuds are back tenfold. Flavors are enhanced and foods that I used to love are being appreciated all over again almost like I'm eating them for the first time. My sense of smell is also significantly better. For the most part this is phenomenal... Occasionally it's not so pleasant if a skunk is around or all of the other unpleasant smells of life ha. But atleast I'm not numbed out.
