I was able to help someone else spontaneously and enjoy doing so at the same time.
Great topic, btw.

I went to work without a hangover. No headache. No sweating. No panic attacks.

Not feeling sick & tired, like I'm gonna die I feel so ill. Being able to conduct my life & do whatever/whenever I need to. Peace of mind. Enjoying events to the full then coming away when I've had enough and want to go home.

Today I'm happy that I'm trying again instead of just giving up on my life

My emotions are stable. I was on an emotional rollercoaster while drinking, if something bothered me, I would drink to forget about it, which would make me even more obsessed and feeling even worse. Constantly thinking and talking and crying and complaining and feeling sorry for myself about the same thing.

Also, I am hopeful about my life and the future. I have good things going on and things I wish they would be different...but I don't obsess about the bad things in my life thinking my life sucks and that I need a drink to go on. I wish some things weren't the way they are, but it's actually okay. If bad things happen, it's not the end of the world and it will be okay. Finally have some peace in my life.

YES! this is exactly what I feel sobriety has given me already. It is such an amazing change and I only have 53 days. I am so grateful!!!

One favorite? There's a couple

I have money saved in my bank account.

I completed a very important task that's been in the works for a while.

I went to my job and learned new things.

Today my favorite thing about being sober is not looking in the mirror and saying "Who the F are YOU?" Because I didn't even recognize myself! It was a very unsettling and bizarre feeling.

I just love being clear minded and well spoken. I'm so much more enjoyable to be around. Just spending some quality time with people who care about me. <3

I had a similar experience/feeling Took me several months to kind of deal with this identity "crisis" but it was for the best!
