Blood work back

It had been over ten years since my last physical. Of course I didn't get one when my drinking was at its worst because I knew the doctors would discover I was an alcoholic. And I wasn't ready to deal with that, if you know what I mean. 😉

So with much trepidation and fear, I finally went for the works. My blood test results just came back and I'm 100% healthy. I can't believe it.

I'm so grateful right now. . . Just needed to share with others who understand. . .

Great news, I am happy for you! Amazing that you were able to get out of your addiction!

How long had you been sober before finally doing the check up?

Good job, I believe that with time the body begins to heal itself.

Dallow - 10 months. I spent that time focusing on all the things I needed to do to stay sober, and I really didn't think I could handle the bad news (a bit pessimistic, I know, but I drank A LOT for a long time).

That's great news, OTR. And yes, I know what you mean- I was terrified of the doc 'finding me out' at the height of my drinking. Isn't it awesome not to have to worry about that anymore?

Great news....now don't let the good news give you a license to "experiment", thinking you're not as bad off as you thought. I fell into that trap more than once!

BBQ. Right on. You won't believe it, but for a nanosecond, that thought ran through my head! "See you're not so bad." But rest assured, there's no way I'm drinking. I've worked too hard to get here.
