Clarity comes to mind as well as learning to accept people, places and things for what they are.
oh and that there is a God and I aint Him
Also some good advise is that Life is a journey, not a destination.

What cowboy and tpw said.
I'll add being able to put my head on the pillow and simply fall asleep. No anxiety about yesterday, today or tomorrow. Does not happen every night, but it sure is the vast majority of days.

Benefits?
I have never, not once, woken up in the morning and thought to myself, "Gee, wish I would've gotten blacked out drunk last night."
When I first got sober, I loved waking up in the morning and knowing what happened the night before. I didn't have to worry about what I might have said or did. It gave me some peace and relief, almost immediately. I still love waking up, it's my favorite part of the day, but during the first several months of sobriety it was just surreal and special.

Benefits? I'm closer to God. My memory got better after 40, I remember weekends, holidays, special events, Wednesdays, etc. I've gotten to enjoy my kids childhoods (and remember them). I'm a youth leader. My wife respects me. I'm involved in opportunities I could not have participated in while using.
Pretty much everything is better.Jesus is my lifting partner.

In my experience, absolutely... You're used to being artificially enhanced with chemicals. Get some time, your body makes those chemicals all by itself. At 17 days, you're no doubt gonna feel rough. Get to eighteen days, that's all for now, eighteen days....Originally Posted by slyguy354

This is the key, no-one gets a long time in with out going day to day. Make being sober a priority today, and worry about tommorrow tommorrow.Originally Posted by hawaiistack

The hardest thing for an alcoholic to do AND the most spiritual thing a person can do, is ask another human being for help.

I heard a great saying yesteday that I had never heard before that I'm thinking about having tatted on the inside of my eyeballs "Don't make someone a priority in your life when you are only an option in theirs."

PTSD is a mother****er no matter how you look at. As bad as it is even with the meds and therapy it will for most of us be a daily battle. For me there is only a small part left to feel good and booze oblitherats that.Originally Posted by GreenWave1
I heard the Korn song "Dead Bodies Everywhere" the other day and went to pieces. It's not the dead that upsets me it's the fact that there are so many people in this world that have absolutely no regard for another human life.Last edited by JRT6; 11-03-2011 at 07:50 AM.
