“I had one of the most productive days at home since I can’t remember when. I was not distracted in any way, shape or form by usual ‘cravings’ associated with my addiction. It was a very refreshing day. Several times I felt a flush of chemicals (perhaps endorphins) in the brain similar to what I seek through my ‘acting out’ behavior except this time it felt very natural - and uplifting. A very stellar and inspiring day. This is what sobriety is to me - not fighting with my body or my mind. I am going to bed now with genuine feelings of satisfaction rather than the usual pain, shame, and guilt. I look forward to more days like today. Thank you for your remedies and support.”
