I'm really excited to talk about all the changes that have happened since I started my month of sobriety. The last night of consuming alcohol was February 5th, so I've been sober for 16 days. This hasn't happened for six years.

My health has been great. I feel so refreshed when I wake up. What a change from all those hungover days when all I do is smoke weed and be lazy! I've been so much more productive in every workout. I've been working out almost every day in general, but now I don't have the gross lazy feeling of a hangover preventing me from giving it my all at the gym. Oh, and I recently went shopping and the sales lady estimated me at a size 26 - soo wrong, but an ego boost for sure! And right after that, I went to a store and saw a pair of jeans that I liked, but the last one was a size 3. I looked at it and thought, whatever, I'll try it. They fit like a glove!

Oh, and my quitting smoking has been going much better. I can totally go without having a cigarette for a whole day now. At the beginning, even if I didn't smoke one, I'd have such intense cravings that consumed all my thoughts. Now, when I smell people who just smoked and then realize that I still smell shower-fresh, I'm like "this feels good!" Also, the cold is not appealing. Obviously not drinking has been a HUGE factor in this success. We'll see how it goes. Nicotine addiction always lingers...

I do feel so boring sometimes. Honestly, though, I admit I'm boring. When friends ask me to come out, I'm not against going to a club, but I realize I just would feel out of place if I'm sober. It's not like I'm angry that everyone is drinking but me...that's awesome. I fucking hate party-poopers. So, as a party-pooper, I decide to stay home and be boring.

My mind is feeling really clear. I've been reflecting a lot over these past couple weeks. Be ready for many deep blog posts!

Bye for now :)
