Hey Team!
Happy to report that I made it through last night sober. I spent the night cleaning out my closet, watching Coupling on Netflix, and then stayed up way too late reading. I slept late this Sunday morning. Woke up rested and refreshed so I'm trying not to dwell on the time. I know my body needed every minute of that sober sleep.
Positives of Waking up Sober Today: No regrets/guilt/shame about yesterday
As London said..."I have memories!" (could have copied and pasted most of your post)
Have a cleaner, organized closet
Threw away old bar receipts found during cleaning - felt great to know I wasn't throwing my money away on poison anymore
My self-esteem is higher
Filled with hope
Future looks brighter
Feel rested, healthy, serene
Woke up hydrated - looking forward to an excellent cup of coffee
Work and housework are not overwhelming
Windows open and enjoying the breeze, view of trees, sun trying to peek through the clouds
Time to do whatever I want
No annoying thoughts about planning/hiding/buying poison...ugh...what a time suck that was
Grateful today for:- my TeamAugust friends who helped pick me up and pull me through a tough day yesterday
- my sobriety
- my two lovely children who had fun just being teenagers last night without having to worry about their Mom
- not ending up in a police station or ER yesterday
- endless possibilities
- being alive (reason for my username grateful11 as I almost died in 2011)
Peace and love to all of you!
