Smile 10 weeks

I am 10 weeks sober today and that feels pretty good. One thing that I was not expecting to get from sobriety is the tremendous sense of comfort and security. I feel in control of my behavior, my feelings can be all over the place but I can choose healthy and sensible ways of dealing with them rather than just drinking myself into oblivion.

I can calm myself with the sights, smells, sounds, and textures of everyday life. My relationships have also changed, and I think will continue to change as time goes on. I have way more self-respect than I did in the past. My daily work has gotten so much easier, I feel like I am accomplishing things every day. Being sober enables me to be the kind of person that I want to be and for that I am grateful.

Here’s to another 10 weeks of sobriety! *raises a glass of lime infused Perrier*
