30 Days!!!
Well guys what can one say? It has been 30 days (almost 31 in 5 hours) and I do take a small sense of worth in that. If you would have asked me 2 months ago if I would have been here I would have laughed at you. Posting and reading on SR and giving up Alcohol, and redefining myself again.
My current assessment. I have dropped considerable weight. The funny thing is I haven't been really full throttle on doing so. I have changed my diet and I do exercise alot more. I have wanted to lose at least 20 pounds. I have now lost 7 pounds and have lost that the right way. I can't express the importance of that. I haven't starved myself nor have I been extremely brutal on my body with the workouts.
I was experiencing some severe discomforts and ailments. My blood pressure has fallen into the normal range. It was always constantly high. My stomach was literally a living hell!!! In fact it got worse after I quit. As of last week my bloatness, nausea, acid and indigestion have all settled. I went from seriously thinking about going to the ER to no signs of any stomach ailments. My energy level has improved but I wouldnt go so far as saying anything spectacular. However, my sleep is not perfect but OMG I can sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is still not all sunshine and rainbows. My emotions are still a roller coaster. The fact I am starting to get through the fog is good but has disadvantages. Seeing clearly reveals many things about ourselves we try to hide. (In my case anyway) I am learning so much about myself and my enviroment and it is freaking scary at times. I have had to isolate myself from so many people. It is a little lonely at times. My body is racked with pain due to not being treated right for so long. I know this will pass as my exercise becomes a more permanent fixture.
One thing before I close this is I also cannot express how SR has played a major role in my sobriety. I am not one to post much but I read here constantly. So, I once again want to take this time to thank all of you beautiful and wonderful people. You guys are amazing! To anyone new reading this and you are struggling. Please! Please! Please! Just hang in there! Only 30 days in and my life is becoming so much better. Well guys here is to the next 30 days! As I will have Day 1 in the books soon.
Peace and Love to all!
