I've been happy lately--like, actually happy, not only content or ambivalent. I'm taking steps to improve my marriage. 👩‍❤️‍👨 I'm going to AA, doing my stepwork and staying active on the Sober app. Most importantly, I'm actually staying sober.☕️ I'm keeping in contact with friends, both in person and through text and apps like Sober and Alike. ☎️ I'm using a to-do app and a mood and wellness app to keep organized, productive and well. 🪞 I've cut out my second cup of coffee each day and replaced it with a giant water bottle. 🥤 Thanks to my dentures, I'm eating a more reasonable amount, so my weight is staying under control. I'm not starving myself, but I'm not doing the mindless munching that I used to either. 🥪 Speaking of my new dentures, I'm more confident than I've been in years. I can smile and laugh openly and genuinely again, which has been HUGE for my mental health all by itself. 😁 I'm keeping up better on what's going on at the kids' school by actually reading the emails that come through (imagine that). 🏫 Both my babies that are still at home are in high school now! 😳 I'M WRITING MORE! I'm working on a project that I'm passionate about. 🖊 It's been happy days for me recently. 🎉 And that's largely due to my sobriety. My husband and I have both quit drinking fairly recently, and lo and behold, we don't fight as much! He's a depressed drunk, and I'm a withdrawn drunk. It was a recipe for a ridiculous argument almost every time in our drinking years. More harmony in my marriage has gone a long way toward true happiness.
