Wow, karlham - 186 days. Fantastic. Two weeks until 200 days!!!!!!! Power ON.

karlham

And don't get me started on weed..harmless. methinks not. I smoked everyday for 16 years. It is certainly a gateway to harder more destructive behavior.

karlham

@soberleigh. Thx a ton.

Horrible nightmare last night. Woke up frightened and despondent. Felt very real. I had been drinking booze. Sighed with relief when I awoke to the truth. My sobriety is intact.

those are good dreams to have - reinforcing in your subconscious mind that drinking is bad.

karlham

@l brain. Agreed

zeppodog

Took a wellness screening in April 2014- 40 inch waist. High blood pressure -high LDLs- fasting glucose high-just bad -- just took a wellness screening last week-results in --waist 34 inches and blood pressure, fasting glucose and LDL,s back within normal healthy ranges. 189 days sober. Coincidence methinks not

Alcohol does such a number on one's body. Its so damn destructive, polluting. Havoc wreaking and harmful. It took me 15 years to get that through my thick skull. But I did. Better late than never they say

karlham

One of the best things about being sober is the willingness to believe that everyday is another step foward toward a sounder, healthier, richer you.

karlham

First the man takes a drink. Then the drink takes the man. Alcohol had it's boot to the back of my neck. But I fought back. 197 days sober.

karlham

Thanks to sobriety I look like myself again. It s weird. I look at past photos of myself when I drank and i hardly recognize the reddened, bruised, bloated, puffy, face in the photos. Alcohol leads to drastic physical transformations like Dr jeckyll and my Hyde.

I'm 19 days sober and I am taking my life back from the stronghold of alcohol..feeling great! Thanks for all the support SR

karlham

@on my way. 19 days=hell yea! Great job. Stay strong. U can do this

Another Saturday night. Sober. "Binging" on episodes of Lock up on MSNBC. Its telling how many inmates are behind bars because of substance abuse. Alcohol/drugs. I remember when I was drinking I felt imprisoned even though I was free. Alcohol was like iron bars encasing my soul. Now with sobriety I feel free. 200 days next Tuesday.

karlham

Its telling how many successful high functioning people don't drink booze. Many uber successful people drink like fish I know. But I find sobriety fits me best.
