I can’t believe how much more productive I am sober! It’s maddening to think about how much time & energy I was wasting on drinking.

Yes! Emotional sobriety has also freed up so much of my energy that I've spent caring about things I cannot control. The tough thing is remaining in that place of emotional sobriety - a daily struggle for me!

Yeah it’s amazing how much you get done yes there’s times you still do wanna just lay in bed and do nothing without the drinking but that’s because you have energy lost from how much you ARE getting done!!

Pace youself and get things done and keep on pushing!!
One day at a time

I definitely have those days too where I don’t want to do much of anything. I guess I will have to learn how to pace myself because I’ve never really experienced this before. ODAAT always

It is amazing! I wonder what I could have accomplished if I have stayed sober sooner! 1 year in and feeling better every day!
