70 days (benefits/thoughts/insight)
Wow, we made it to my first goal of 70 days. Honestly, I've tried quitting a few times over the past few years. Have gone 30 days a few times, 60 days a few times, and even 120 days, which was my best streak. Every time I broke, I realized it was a mistake instantly and had benders that lasted up to a year. This time, it feels different, I've been through enough relapses and truly know that I want to be sober for the rest of my life. Enough yapping, here are my top 10 benefits for all you people just starting out:
Mental Clarity (it's amazing how much better you feel with a clean mind)
Balanced emotions(no longer feel really sad or get super angry-i can control my emotions and have a better overall steady mood.
Enjoy small things more (walking/reading/exercising/even just cuddling up in my covers on a cold day just feels 10 x better)
Diet is better (feel healthier)
Sleep is so much better
More focus (get more done every day)
No more feelings of guilt (which makes me perceive myself as a good person in my head, which makes me happier)
Everything is easier (when smoking life gets harder/tasks/work/everything)
My relationships are better with my loved ones
I stand up for myself more
Keep going yall 💪🏾 👏 this time, we sober for life, God willing
