Sleep has improved dramatically.

I slept for 5 hours uninterrupted night before last. A first for me as I can remember and no weird dreams . Glad to be at this place. I had forgotten what it means to have a good nights rest.

On to Day 19

Hi 3J

Today is the beginning of 19 days AF . This is the longest I have been sober for 23 years and every day I wake up in absolute awe at the turnaround in my life ! So from the 1st of July I also decided it was time to go NF, and now beginning day 3 NF.

It's the change in mindset and outlook that amazes me the most. Holding yourself accountable and reading all the encouraging posts here on MWO has made all the difference. The toolbox has been great for me especially the ones that detail the need to constantly be seeking change, growth, gratitude and forgiveness of oneself. These have worked for me.

Lost 12lbs in 19 days and have started exercising more than ever in 20 years . Its now part of my daily routine. Now in the evening when I would have been drinking or feel the twitch of the craving I get out and get physical and it really works. This weekend I went on a hike and loved the social and physical activity and plan to make it a routine.

Lastly the other significant change I have made is going back to school. I have just signed up to do my MBA part time , something I have neglected for some time and due to the AL always procrastinated on. Courses start September so I am enjoying the limited free time now .

To all who have lent their voices here, LostSoul, NS, Byrd and so many others , I really appreciated the posts it made me feel understood, something I don't think we feel among others.

I will continue to update you and look out for your posts.:thanks:

Oh BNRS wow 19 days and going strong! you sound so well, so in control and so happy. I hope newbies or those thinking about quitting read your posts and feel the power. When you first start out it is so scary to think of life without AL but in no time at all you are wishing you'd never met him! Congratulations and thanks for keeping us up to date on your progress!
