How is this happening?!
Monday morning, 7 a.m. My toddler is already awake. And so am I, feeling great! There have been so many mornings when that child has been banging around in his room, and all I wanted to do was put a pillow over my head and get a few more minutes of sleep.
No pillow over my head today.
I have the clear headedness this morning to be able to sit with my thoughts. I want to be with me. Lol! How did this happen?! I have feelings of gratitude, excitement, and what feels like a newfound strength to not only face today’s challenges but also dominate them.
I am taken back to yesteryear when the poison was not in my life. I remember the ways in which I handled my days. I remember how full my life was. How exciting to be at the starting point of all that I was created to be! It’s so hard to express the immense gratitude I feel in these quiet moments. It’s BLISS.
For anyone who wants this, seize the opportunity today! It’s so so so much better on this side. Alcohol is such a liar! I didn’t think I’d ever be here thinking these things, feeling these feelings, but here I am. Today, I will not have a drink. Today, I will go kill it out there.
How did this happen? The first step after many attempts to quit drinking was that I committed. Simple as that.

Run,
I have been working out steadily since Dec 2014. I quit getting drunk May 2015.
The physical and mental transformations have been slow, but I have had no real setbacks.
I get compliments now from folks. Great skin, you look younger, nice body. I didn't expect that. I just want to take care of myself now that I am no longer physically addicted.
I was a lost soul until I found SR. AA meetings were cryptic. SR cleared it up.
Thanks.

Eeeek, it’s been a whole week! I am loving life, feeling so blessed to be on this journey with each of you. I like AA in theory, but I just could not fit it into my schedule. Truly, no excuses—I’m just super busy from the time I open my eyes until 9 pm. SR has given me an alternative program. I really like how I can log on any time and share or read. The stories and encouragement were and are the fuel keeping me on track. I can’t believe I didn’t find you guys sooner, but I’m so happy I did.
Yay for feeling amazing again today! I wish everyone a day filled with joy, strength, and health.
