I AM SO EXPLOSIVELY HAPPY! I am literally starting to feel similar to how I was before my addiction to escape. Pre-teen feelings. I also look younger and healthier, already! I don't wake up frightened when I see myself. hahaha.
I just went and had some bodywork done, and the positive changes I make in my health will stick and build on themselves, when I'm sober.
I did all sorts of alternative healing stuff when I was drinking too, and ate organic, and did special food things (vegan, raw for a while, whole foods), exercise, yoga practice, etc. And then I would get drunk. Obsessive health building and the sense of never quite catching the wave of momentum toward feeling good inside my body.
I love it that - sober - all my energy toward health goes toward my actual getting healthier, rather than simply mitigating the crappy physical symptoms of drinking or the damage done by drinking... Improvement vs. Survival

I'm able to handle the ups and downs, tolerate the little frustrations of daily life, not take too much personally, maneuver through obstacles, wake up in a generally hopeful state of mind, be compassionate and empathetic, and sustain some highly complex thought processes again.
