Two things I really appreciate about my sobriety are:
1.
Longer Life: I now have a much better chance of living into my old age. At the rate I was going I doubt I would've gone far past 60. I have a lot of people that care about me that would be devastated if I died early. I also want to see my son get as old as possible. When I was actively drinking I saw very little point in having a retirement savings account (what would I need it for?) - that's sad.
2.
Waking up each day with a clear head: I'm not a morning person at the best of times, so how I managed to get up with a stonking great hangover and still make it to work on time
(for nearly 20 years) astounds me. Now when I wake up I feel clear and usually pretty happy. I still want a sleep in
, but It's easy to move past.
I definitely want to stay on this bus!
