9 months sounds amazing. Could you share the differences you've noticed for us less experienced? Physically? Mentally? Thanks

Not my thread, but hopefully you don't mind me answering that question too.
The physical stuff, well how long have you got? seriously it's a long list.... better sleep, better skin, clear eyes, MUCH better fitness workouts at the gym, need less meds for other stuff, no more night sweats, people comment I look younger...... lost weight......... there's probably more.
Other very important changes, FREEDOM from the tyranny of maintain a supply, from always thinking about drink, freedom to drive whenever, freedom from smelling of booze and trying to hide it. The shame is receding too (that's big).
Better relationship with my daughter (that's very big)
Doing a better job at work, more clarity when trying to think things through...........

This was good for me to list.

thank you!
xx

9 months. That's amazing! Keep up the good living! I second Steve's curiosity. As someone in the early days of recovery, I'd love to hear some perspective from that end. Regardless, congrats!
