Day 114! Please read!

I've got to admit, for the first time in a very long time I feel like I can overcome anything that comes my way! Not drinking has showed me that you can indeed feel like a jovial teenager all over again. ( Not that they're always jovial ...am I right? lol)

Here are the benefits i'm currently reaping!!..

My mind feels sharp because of the healing!

Energy is through the roof.

Communication is GREAT
( I stick up for myself more than ever before... I no longer accept bad behavior from others. I also am able to convey my feelings in a very positive yet straightforward way.)

My liver feels REJUVENATED.

My skin is no longer damaged and is VERY clear & glowy!

I've earned the respect & trust from my family and friends!

I'm saving so much money!

My sex life is better than ever ( TMI but it's good to know)

NO HANGOVERS! NO HANGOVERS! NOOOOO HANGOVERS! ( can't stress that enough)

I no longer feel trapped by addiction!

I appreciate life , the way that it deserves to be!

I smile , I laugh & I CRY MORE!

I enjoy the little things!

I'm optimistic about what the future holds!

I feel empowered with a new sense of self -worth!!!!

For all of you struggling to go a day without alcohol I beg you to give yourself a chance...TODAY! LETS SOAK UP THESE BENEFITS TOGETHER!

LOVE YOU ALL! Thank you for following me on this journey!
I couldn't of done it without ya!

Thank you for sharing your joy, Ashley. It amazes me that I thought I was enhancing my life by drinking - making things easier & more fun. I ended up totally dependent on it - anxious, exhausted, miserable. I'm so thankful we're free.

114 days - fabulous!

You're a Rockstar! (In a good way &#128526

I'm on Day 10 and honestly wouldn't have it this far without SR and the terrific people with their support.
Please tell me it didn't take 114 days to feel better...

Such a great post Ashley!

Whatever you're doing keep it up. And I am not talking about your TMI portion I would assume you will continue that as well.

Congrats Ashley and thank you for the inspiration.
I am on day 11. My self worth is all ready starting to materialize. I need to remember I am worth not poisoning myself to death.
Continue on your journey- I have a feeling you will be helping alot of people during your recovery.
