Nothing like an early morning outdoor workout 
to ground the soul.
I agree! How are you doing today? Thanks for all your support and comments, they really do help!

Appreciate that Melissa. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It helps so many others who are going thru the same thing that either don’t know how to put in words, or ashamed to admit. It takes courage to share.
It’s been a good morning so far. I got up early to do a little prayer and meditation. I was in the gym by 6am, and have had numerous conversations (texts and calls) from family and AA friends. I feel very grateful today. I celebrated 11 months of continuous sobriety yesterday!! My addiction almost destroyed everything I ever loved and cared about. I’m so grateful for the support of my family. I’m so grateful to have true friends who walk this walk with me.
I still suffer from fear of the future, financial insecurity, suppressing my feelings because I’m not important, relations with my spouse, shame of my past…the list goes on and on lol. Hey I’m human! I’m doing my best. Today I’m working on all of it. I own it. I’m ok with not being perfect(kinda). All of this is a choice I make every day. It’s exhausting sometimes, but this is the easier softer way. You asked…lol. Thanks for asking and letting me share

Beautiful! I love mornings and the feeling of waking up sober and in a place of gratitude instead of the guilt and shame I'd feel when drinking.
Isn’t it absolutely the best? Right now I’m sitting in bed while my friends continue to drink and play games in the kitchen… we are hiking tomorrow and I am completely at peace without having a drop, looking forward to a beautiful morning not being hungover

Wonderful Melissa!!!
Awesome work! I absolutely love mornings. So much more enjoyable waking up early and refreshed and NOT hungover or with a sense of regret.
Waking up without a hungover or even still Buzz.. is the Best..
