While finishing up with a routine dental checkup, my Dentist asked if I was finally ready to have my top 2 wisdom teeth pulled and 3 cavities pulled. I was like "sure, let's roll!" Smiling the whole time, I got it done and spent the day chillaxing. A former "me" would have fainted from anxiety, but not today as a sober man of 1 year, 6 months. With no pain meds other than Tylenol, I realize that this is valuable time to relax, recuperate and focus on self-care. Every experience, even the uncomfortable/pain producing has a silver lining of newness as I learn to appreciate the uniqueness of my body and those with the talents to care for it. No extremes, just mellow and calm relaxation and soothing refreshment of being present 
Keep strong, friends and feel free to reach out as I'll be couching it for the next few days.

That's awesome. Im a chef and cut my knuckle off a month ago. When I got the sutures I had to take them without any pain meds because I'm an addict and well at that time they were gonna be triggers. So I got 5 sutures without a needle or pain meds. Worst but best day of my life. Be proud of yourself for this victory. I sure am.
