Now THIS is what I thought sobriety would feel like :)
I'm so excited. So so SO happy.
For the first time in my life (remember I started drinking to blackout at 15) I tried to run. Usually I walk kinda briskly. Like a 17 minute mile was my norm when I would drag my sorry hungover kiester off the couch and go for a walk. But today I felt fantastic. I haven't smoke or drank or benzoed for 44 days. My blood pressure was 112/75 and I felt ah-mazing.
Went to the track and started to run/walk. Not a 17 minute mile my friends. Not a 16 minute mile. Not even a 15 minute mile. This old mare was rocking her first 14 minute mile probably since I have been born !!
Month 1 goal was to just stop drinking vats of wine every night.
Month 2 was to lay off the cake and start to move again.
Half way through month 2 and I was flying like the wind.
Well maybe flying more like when you blow up a balloon and don't tie it off and let it go and it goes pffffftttttttttttttt all over the place until it falls on the ground all deflated and wrinkly but still....
