Lovely response...
Lovely response, embodying those three great spiritual values, compassion, tolerancve and patience 
May I add,...'There are two great qualities that have stood against everything, love and truth' - Mahatma Ghandi, much of which is to be found in SCR.

I know my sobriety is improving....
I know my sobriety is improving, because as I have just been thankfully reminded by the post,'Head down the toilet' (see this forum) this morning that I once to sp[ents my time making many visits to kneel before and then gaze into those cool, blue waters to engage in a bout of 'reverse paristolisis', probably spelt that wrong, more commonlyknowen as vomiting into the toilet bowl!
In sobriety, that no longer happens, if it is that I sufferb from the odd bout offood poisoning I can conduct myself in a more sensible appropriate manner,not forgetting those occasions when I'd do it just about anywhere, with no thought of the conseqeuences to either myself or worst still, to those around me.

I can pack up the trash in my bedroom and not have to worry about bottles and cans hitting each other. It's really amazing how I can throw things away and not worry about the noise the trash makes or if the bag is too see through.

A romance.
I know my sobriety is imporoving because I've actually,for the first time in sobriety, been able to form a real romantic relationship, in the form of two previous dates, which included flowers for her flowers and dining out in a restaurant,to be followed by a a 'run to the coast' later today.
Sobriety, never ceases to amaze me!

I know mysobriety is improving because yesterday I received an unexpected rent rebate, £82.00! The cheque remained safely tucked away until I banked it in my account today.
Positively unheard of in my drinking days when I would have hotfooted to some money changer, lost some on the interest paid, taken the cash and just blown the lot on a 'bender', now look at me, sorting out theUK's debt crisis,!!! ;-)

I know my sobriety is improving because I no longer cringe when people ask me if I'm still not drinking. (I use to take that really personal like they were wishing failure on me.)

Lovely, lovely, lovely...
Thank you sooooo much forthat, lovely, lovely , lovely, it made me recall just how much in my early days of sobriety people, when dining with friends or relatives, would make a point of ensuring that alcohol was kept at the other end of the dinner table, out of sight, meals were served, ensurinng that my portion hadn't been enhanced or 'infected'; with alcohol, just in case I didn't turn into a green, muscle bound monster, split my pants and slavering, drink all the alcohol available within a 10 mile radius, of course I wasn't to feel embarassed or belittled by those 'superior' normal drinkers????
