Some things I've been doing/experiencing since stopping drinking:
- Learning Spanish on the awesome Duolingo app. Super fun and highly recommended. Many different languages to choose from.
- Keeping a tidier house. Feels nice having things more in order externally as well as internally (except for my fiery weird emotional rollercoasters......maybe things will even out one day?)
- Feeling more self-respect. I especially respect myself more as a mom.
- Feeling "clearer" and truly enjoying that.
- Caring more for my vegetable seeds. I want those babies to thrive. It is so fun watching them grow.
- Exercising more. We have been taking walks more often and have been enjoying the outdoors together as a family. It's really nice.
- Coping with stuff without alcohol; obvious, I know, but still worth mentioning because it really is a new experience.
- Writing more. I started this blog and for some reason I've been keeping it up, writing every day. I think it helps. I have commented on a few blogs and I think it would be good to join the community of virtual sober homies.
- Attended an AA meeting. That was...interesting. A little bleak. I don't want to give up on it just because of one non-love connection meeting. Not sure if it is the right method (is that the right word?) for me. I am definitely open, though. Will probably go to another meeting sometime soon.
- Eating healthier. I really am. It's cool. I was more inclined to go the cheese fries/pizza route before because of laziness/booziness. I have been cooking more and it is great. Nothing against cheese fries or pizza, of course!!
- Reading more. I finished something like 5 books since being sober. That's a lot for me.
That is all for now, but it's a decent list I think. Yeah man!
