It’s been 5 weeks and literally no down side to

It’s been 5 weeks and literally no down side to not drinking or smoking! I’ve lost 12 pounds, saved nearly a grand, and I’m happy being alone with myself and my own thoughts for the first time in decades😊. The longer I go without drinking and smoking the more I wonder why I ever started in the first place but I’ll just accept the fact that I took control when I did before anything truly bad happened. Christmas Eve I was at my lowest point on a very dark path mentally…now all I want to do is live every day to the fullest and see what wonderful things the next day will bring! Alcohol was truly toxic for me and I couldn’t be happier to be sober:)!! Thank you to this community for being there!
