    Positive Feelings

    I have just started day 4 of AF and wanted to share some thoughts with you guys out there. The last 3 days have been a struggle, but today I woke up and looked in the mirror and what did I see:

    Clear skin
    Bright, twinkling eyes
    A face free of bloating

    What did I feel.....

    Positive
    Optimistic
    Hopeful
    Proud

    And what did I think....

    This AF is doing so much good for me
    I am waking up from a very long, bad dream and can finally see the light
    Positive changes are here for good

    And what will I do today....

    Go to the gym for some exercise
    Be nice to my liver - some lipotropic tea instead of coffee
    Meet a friend I have not seen for 8 year for a healthy lunch
    Put the money I would have spent on AL (?35) in a pot and save it for a flight to somewhere hot and exotic next year.
    Stay calm and relaxed throughout the day
    Smile

    My changes are small, but a little at a time.

    :thanks: for reading and have a good, happy, positive day

        What a lovely post Daisy and I agree with everything you've said, I remember at round about 3 - 5 days doing something similar and just being so happy looking in the mirror and actually smiling back at myself. Keep that memory and remember it whenever you need it.

        Thank you for sharing,

        Enjoy today - there will be no other one quite like it....

          :welcome: Daisy A
          What a wonderful post!
          I too remember these amazing changes in myself, everything was different. I especially noticed the disappearance of the bloating in my body which I had just accepted as the norm. Looking back it was pure insanity! Throwing poison down my throat which made me unhappy and depressed just so I could wake up looking puffy and haggard every morning :nutso: someone should have locked me up. :H

          Thankyou for these great reminders, the biggest one for me was the split 2nd I opened my eyes in the morning expected the hangover only to find I felt fantastic! I made a ritual out of having a big stretch, smiling to myself and feeling grateful to be sober.

            I agree that this is a wonderful thread, but I disagree with you thinking that the changes you've made are anything less than amazing. They are very amazing, and Congratulations on 3 days. Love the positive moments and think of them when you're feeling down.

                    Good job Daisy and so true! Remembering this positive change in how I felt and how I always felt before I quit is something I never want to forget. It is truly day vs night, light vs dark, feeling alive not half dead. Keep the positive attitude, and have a good weekend. :h
