I Woke Up - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Pancreas · 04-10-2004, 06:19 AM

I'm very grateful for waking up sober this morning:

No hangover
No blood, no bruises
I feel like eating, not drinking my breakfast
The car is in the garage, un-damaged
WIFE is next to me
I know where the kids are
No buddies passed out in the basement
House is clean
I have some money in my pocket

Also in sobriety:

I still have morning breath
It still rains when I want the sun
The porch still needs to be swept
I still have to pay the bills
The lawn still needs mowed
The dog still have to pick up dog crap in the yard
--------------------------------------------------------

The world and life goes on whether sober or drunk. The first set of situations were always within my control, but being full of drink, I didn't care. The second set were never within my control, but without the drink and the help of my HP I have to tools to accept them and act in a positive manner towards them.

To all those who want it, have a good Easter weekend. To those who don't care, I wish you a good weekend.

I posted as "ASD" last week before the crash, but am now "pancreas". Heck, I've started from scratch before and will do so again!
