Today, I fretted about blowing my diet because of after work dinner with out of town colleagues for work. Old me would've made an excuse to get out of that dinner so I could get hammered and either eat a ridiculous amount of food or skip dinner entirely.
By the way calorie counting has become my new obsession during the 30 days of sobriety do far and I've lost 13 pounds.

didn't have a crushing hangover and all-day headache. Got up at 6 a.m. full of energy. Took time to shave my legs and pick a nice outfit. Didn't feel sick riding the bus (once I had to ask the driver to let me out and threw up on the sidewalk!!). Was able to have a real conversation with my husband past 8 p.m. and remember it.

Today I went to the Gym and did a nice hard workout. Came home a made the best BBQ'd Hamburger I've ever had (1/2 ground round - 1/2 ground italian sausage on naan bread with garlic aioli, sweet hot mustard, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato.... YUM!). After lunch I blew my long driveway and the gutters on both sides of the street and filled my yard waste bin. Tonight I went to my AA fellowship for the Men's group meeting and supported a newcomer by buying him 'Living Sober' and giving him my phone number.
Today I HAD AN EXCELLENT DAY!

Today I walked passed all the wine and chocolate when food shopping and didn't think twice about it, even though I had a raging sore throat which was crying out to be self-medicated!

Today I...rode my bike to the bank on a route that I've never taken before.
Might not seem like a big deal, but I'm a recovering agoraphobic and being on a street that I don't know can be scary. After two weeks of sobriety, my anxiety level has diminished a LOT.

At about 6 months sober my anxiety eased and I started venturing out more and now I know my way around okay. I lived her four years but never went past my comfort zone that included the grocery/liquor store.
Now I can do a quick look at maps, jot a couple things down and off I go!
I am glad your anxiety level has went down. I realized facing that fear has opened up a new world to me, even if I haven't been there yet
