This Sobriety Stuff...

...is amazing!! I can honestly say that at Day 21, this is the best I have felt in years. I sleep easily, wake up early and feeling good, am productive throughout the day, my work performance has improved, I feel strong and healthy, and this incredible sense of overall peace is slowly emerging.

This is the strongest my resolve has ever been but in addition, I have:
* Seen my doctor for a general checkup and received a clean bill of health
* Checked in to SR daily
* Arranged for some therapy/counseling if I begin struggling
* Been working out at the gym 4-5 days/week
* Told friends that I am not drinking anymore
* Built "tools" based on identifying my triggers, "playing the tape through," looking at my "Why to Quit List," and my "Benefits of Being Sober List."

Of course, it is still early but as I continue to build on the strength of my sobriety, I feel like I am really going to do it this time - I never want to return to that dark and awful place. The clouds are finally lifting and I have SR, in large part, to thank for it - this place is truly incredible!

I know the feeling SoberD..Day 17 for me...I sleep better, work better and I am happier within, I don't get angry or grumpy anymore either. Just feel at peace. We can do this..SR is my support and I greatly appreciate it..Without it I would feel all alone battling a horrible problem...
