Month 2 down.

Still sober @ 272 days, been on the vitamins religiously and I can say that I am feeling better steadily. I have been only using the cane when I leave the house and I have found that I 'carry' the cane every so often and walk without it.

Now, here is the kicker, the good part. I have a client in Oregon that refuses to shop at big box stores so she offered me a $200 giftcard to Walmart in exchange for some IT work. I took it and went shopping. I am now the owner of a brand new 18spd mountain bike that I ride about 3-5 miles a day. Now, I live in the Blue Ridge Mts so finding a flat straight road is like a needle in a haystack......but I ride around my neighbourhood and up to the main street for shopping. Its tough on the legs for sure, but my balance is improving and I have pretty much lost that 'drunk' feeling when trying to walk. Its kinda nice.

So, to recap, good diet, moderate exercise and ABSTINENCE is absolutely working for me to beat "Alcoholic Neuropathy". Slowly but steadily.

Thanks again MrsD
