Ces77, yes it will! You'll be surprised at how your sense of humor just seems to reappear all at once. Alot of emotions reappear at once actually. Lol. I remember crying one day because my husband wouldn't take me to Walmart. So sometimes, those emotions come on a little strong if you can't tell. Haha. He thought I was a fruitcake for crying about that, and later I did too. Seems like I spend alot more time soul searching n whatnot nowadays. Where before, I couldn't have cared less about what was REALLY going on around me. It is very nice to have feelings again!
Keep doing what you're doing...it's worth it. I PROMISE! ;)
It's so encouraging to hear that laughter comes back in time. I'm experiencing that now that I'm dwindling Down off of that crap. Thank God for that. I know there will be bad days. But in the end it will be worth it!!
Thank you :) It definitely does get better, and I definitely have my ups and downs, but that's to be expected. The ups, outweigh the downs, so as long as I continue to have those great moments, I know I can get through this successfully. I'm so lucky to have my beautiful kids and husband. They're my reason for being clean...wanting them to have the life they deserve, and the life I deserve! The mind really is powerful when it comes to detox...positive thoughts go a long way!
Love it! The dumbest stuff is always the funniest! My husband probably thinks I am a lunatic cause I will laugh at my own jokes... for awhile, too. I don't remember much laughing before I got sober, now I laugh at my kids every day. Good stuff:)
So happy for you. I am so much closer to my kids since I got clean too. I didn't realize how much happiness I was missing. Glad your doing well.
