Thanks for the inspiring post Racer. I would definitely like to second the beauty of "waking up sober". I don't think this feeling will ever fade as long as we stay sober. As someone who is still early on in their recovery as well, this is encouraging news to read. Yeah, I suppose some of the cravings are still there for me too, but they're beginning to pale in comparison to a sense of growing self-confidence that comes with each day that I don't use. Anyway, thanks for the post and keep it up!
