Sober Living: Transformative Changes

I haven’t had alcohol in 3 years or caffeine in 5 months. Here are the changes I’ve noticed: My presence in the present moment has significantly improved Ability to listen to and understand my body and how it communicates to me what it needs is vastly better My patience has reached an all time high I feel grounded, and can sit with emotions as they arise, allowing them to flow through me rather than take control like they used to I can physically do literally anything with minimal to no soreness afterward. My connections with others have run deeper and are no longer reserved for shallow memory-less fun encounters focused on imbibing My anxiety is almost completely gone. Went from 90 to about 20 on a 100 pt scale I crave whole, healthy foods. Sugars and gluten actually feel like poison these days and limiting them is not hard, it feels great to. My hobbies have multiplied significantly. Where I used to spend so much time and money going out for drinks to numb myself, I now do sooooo many things My social anxiety is gone. Turns out when I’m craving a drink to hang with people, I’m really with the wrong people who make me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Now I just excuse myself from spending time with those who cause me to sense that instead of pushing through and ordering a drink My priorities and focus have greatly improved My mental, emotional, and physical health is at an all time high My sleep is AMAZING. Deep. All night. Awesome dreams. My memory has improved 10 fold I feel strong, alive, well, connected, overall more joyful. Replaced “happy hours” with a happier lifetime My former chronic pains have vanished. What arthritis 🤷‍♀️? Climbing with carpal tunnel? Yup - don’t feel it. Chronic shoulder pain… where? all gone.No more knee pain. Not to mention my chronic broken heart… I took the time to heal it during this time of not being numb. Turns out when you can feel everything, you can heal anything. My relationships with others is better than ever because I’m a better listener, friend, and companion Drinking was never a problem, but without it there have been so many resolutions, I hope to never go back ☠️🍻🍷🍸
