THE DIFFERENCE (part 2)

Since I got sober……

When I get up in the morning, I feel healthy – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

My first thought of the day is “what will I do today”, not “where or when will I get my first drink”.

I walk with my head up, not looking at the ground.

I laugh more now than I ever did when I was drinking.

My priorities have shifted from myself to others.

I care about what is going on in the whole world, not just my little world.

I can look in the mirror and be proud of what I see, not ashamed.

I am happy with what I have now, and no longer grieve over what I have lost.

I show up for work every day (especially Mondays).

I don’t waste time thinking up my next lie.

Now, I am invited to and included in family and other social gatherings.
