physical changes at 60 days

Hi, just wondering if anyone can share about this topic.

I'm just at 62 days and have noticed the past week or so that my vision seems ultra-clear...very sharp and colorful.

I didn't notice if my vision was crappy while drinking, so if you have any noticed changes at this time of sobriety, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

My failing vision among other symptoms was part of the reason for my quitting this time. I noticed the biggest improvement in the first week. Congrats on 62!

Welcome, august!
Well I'm just at day three this time around (sigh) but in the cost:benefit analysis I have written up one of my drinking "costs" was very blurry vision, specially in the morning and especially after days' worth of heavy drinking. Which always got better as the day wore on.
I'm looking forward to more visible health (and looks) improvements.
Good to have you here! And great job on YOUR 62 days!

Hi August....my eye sight had really declined the last few years, so I sure hope that will improve...at 67 days today & haven't really noticed a change with that, but was at the dentist this last week & my blood pressure was 110/76.....a big improvement from the 160+/90 it has been the last 2 years!!

Stevie1, thanks! I love SMART meetings and find I am adding to my CBA every couple of weeks. Keep up the good work.

p.s. this vision thing is so strange!

You too!
I started my CBA about two years ago and like you, I keep adding to it.
No idea why your vision improved; I hope mine does too though.

Alcohol does effect the vascular and arterial system.

I have never experienced the vision thing, but an improved blood flow through the eye - brain interface would carry more oxygen and stimulate the nerves better.

Sounds like a great unexpected benefit of sobriety

My SMART facilitator remarked that my brain was healing! Synapses are re-connectingW, etc. what a marvelous thing.
