Changes, motivation to stop

[veritas]

I am writting this for when the demon comes whispering sweet nothings.

Things that I have noticed after a few days AF.

my energy level is up
my concentration is better
my mood lifts
my weight goes down, even though I eat more
my appetite improves
my sleep is deeper and more refreshing
my dogs get more walks
I start making plans
I start getting pro active
my optimism increases
my sense of humour returns
my interest level increases
I am more organised
I spend more time with friends and children

Please add your own observations.

Changes, motivation to stop

Those are great motivators, V! A few of my own:

I stopped feeling hopelessness and despair
I stopped thinking about suicide
I was able to cope with doing emotionally difficult things
I enjoy sleeping
I began to feel spiritually engaged again
