700 days sober.

Just got back from a week in south Florida where I accomplished yet another goal. Read above to see that I was in a wheelchair not long ago. Abstinence, proper vitamins and exercise have brought me out of the chair and I have now gone months without even my cane. I went bowling a couple months back, that was a miracle.

Anyway, while in Florida I walked the beach about 3 miles daily (no cane, on sand and totally sober). I was a little sore after the first day, but by the end of the week I was keeping up with my partner with no problems.

Praise God for sobriety! I have my health back!!

Wonderful news! Thank you so much for sharing!

That is fantastic.

Congrats!!..And it keeps getting better, no matter what

400 days here.

While not 700, it's, well... 400, innit!

It's harder than you think, and yet, easier than I ever would have imagined 400 days ago.

Symptoms are down to sore feet after a day of running around, cooking dinner, and working in the garden. There's also less me, as I went from 128kg to 108kg in the last 3,5 months.

I had forgotten how it felt to be euphoric, now I remember.

Excellent news to hear!

Today marks my 2nd full year of sobriety.

On this date in 2011 I woke up in jail after 20+ years of abusing alcohol. I had lost everything I owned and also my family.

Two years later I have rebuilt my life, remained sober and have helped many others that struggle just like me.

One day at a time, now its one year at a time.

Peace.

This is my first post , and I am not sure I am doing this right, but you guys are an inspiration. I have read your posts, Icehouse, with great interest. Long term drinker has hope.

Keep us up to date on how you go forward Newstown!

Thank you Icehouse. I will. I hope I do as well as you and others are doing. I know all have posted several times about your supplements....benfothiamine, alpha lipoic acid, and so on. Would you mind posting which ones you think are most helpful? I know that is a difficult question since we don't always know. Thank you!
