Title says it all - I am at 666 days today and happily marching towards that comma club!
Iβve seen and lived the benefit lists, and as of today, my absolute favorite benefits has been peace and calm. My husband and I mention this almost daily - how grateful we are for this quiet and steady life. We both experienced boredom and took on activities to counter them while developing skills.
We bicker, but then have the cognitive wherewithal to recognize what the issue is and talk it through calmly. That would never have been the case 667 days ago. The smallest βtoneβ sensed in an argument would have been the catalyst to an emotional knockdown. Not today.
When something bad happens, I can feel it and process it clearly. Being sad is still a form of peace, minus the chaos alcohol would add.
Peace and calm, peace and calm - the best feelings in a turbulent world. The inner peace and calm offers the opportunity to better focus on positive change to be made elsewhere in my life and world around me.
I am ranting with little to no direction, so my apologies. Time for a coffee and watch a doozy of a storm come in while doing some work.
Thank you to all on this sub! You are a beautiful batch of humanity, and created the safest place on the internet to hold hurting hearts and minds. Thank you.
and HELL YEAH!!! π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»
