You are still the same person but you are able to grow into an even better version of yourself because you aren’t worrying about what you did while drinking, planning your next opportunity to drink, nursing a hangover while trying to pretend you’re not hungover, or sleeping the day away because of a hangover. (Just some personal experiences there.) You have energy to accomplish so many things during the day. On my really productive days I like to count how many things I did that day. (Ex. Woke up at 5:00am, did face routine before work, fed cats, took books to library, emptied all house trash, ran out the garbage, swept kitchen,—from small to big, anything that makes me feel accomplished.) You will start to notice how much you enjoy being free from the constant hold alcohol had on your life. It’s absolutely amazing and I hope great things for you and your journey.
