4. I wasn't cranky to my two young children this morning as I got them off to school
5. I didn't spend a dime last night.
6. I didn't wonder how much fast food I binge ate after a night of binge drinking.
7. I didn't have to apologize to ANYONE for anything I did last night.
8. I didn't wake up embarrassed about not remembering the end of the night, how I got home, or how I left it with anyone.

feel free to add to my list if you like. It's the first time I put a list like this in writing. There's a lot there for a beginning - and all from one night of sobriety. I'll have to re-read my post when the AV acts up in the evening.
