I am more aware of how I physically feel and why I may feel that way.

I understand that I have a short social battery and sometimes less is more when it comes to socializing.

I better understand the importance of connection and genuine relationships.

I understand that being outside in nature can be a tool utilized daily to slow yourself down.

I know that anxiety and depression is real.

I know that so many people have had or currently have issues with drinking.

I know that my drinking likely led to an unhealthy relationship with food.

I know that my acid reflux was almost entirely drinking related.

I know the importance of sleep and how my drinking negatively impacted my sleep.

I know the importance of therapy.

I believe I am more empathetic to others having faced my issues while sober.

I understand how dehydrated I must have been while actively drinking.

I understand the importance of trusting your intuition.

I confirmed that I am not the biggest fan of crowded and loud places.

I realized how much time and energy that my drinking took from me.

I realized how much money I truly spent on drinking and going out.

I believe I am a much better person towards my friends and loved ones.

I understand how emotionally numb my drinking made me.

I know the importance of feeling bored.

I know some of the things that led to me drinking in excess.

I realized a bit more about who I was and what I wanted out of life.

(Still to this day one of the biggest reasons as to why I got sober was the fear of never reaching my true potential or just never really figuring out who I was. Getting sober does not magically help with that. It does however place your problems and pressing thoughts right in front of you with seemingly no way around it.)
