Feel Better FAST!

Dear Readers,

I am realizing 

That it takes the body

And the mind,

A long time to 

Heal

From drinking too much.

I read that it takes time,

But patience is not

In my nature.

(Learning!)

Now that I have been sober

For over 2 months,

I am starting to 

Feel and see the changes.

Not giant changes,

But little ones.

Like having a little more energy to

Try a new skill, hobby,

Walk outside,

Write this blog,

Clean a little more.

I notice my energy 

Is still up and down,

But a little more even.

Drinking sometimes gave me more energy,

But then I'd crash.

I have lost weight,

By not drinking.

Drinking messed up my blood sugar levels,

And I would often binge eat.

My depression is almost 

Gone.

For years I suffered from depression.

It's still there,

But it's way more manageable.

I am exploring more,

Reaching out,

Looking beyond

A drink.

People say I look good.

(That's with make-up on, dressed up!)

LOL

I asked my Loved One,

What he likes most about me not drinking?

He is happy he doesn't have to worry.

He is happy I have more energy.

He greets me every day

With a beautiful smile, a kiss.

Beautiful, yes?
