Thirsty and Miserable
I woke up at 1:00 am last night to change my 1 year old's diaper and get him back to sleep. I felt terrible, I was so thirsty, my stomach hurt and I felt buzzed out, just I like I did when I was drinking. It made me remember why I stopped and how bad I would feel in the am. I felt bad in a good way. I often forget about the downside of drinking and that was a good reminder.

That was a good wake up call!! one that along the way in my recovery I forget about!... it's always a good thing to "play the tape forward" BEFORE we pick up...it's a reminder of all the crap associated with drinking!! good for you! stay strong!! 
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

Yes, welcome. I, too enjoyed your tale, it reminded me of my own selective memory. We had an old-timer back in the day who used to say that "we alcoholics have damned good forgetters". As usual, he was right!

Exhaustion makes me feel yucky too. I have a nasty cold and I'm remembering the yuck that is hungover. I'm so glad I don't have to drink today and I'm so glad your sober to see that baby grow up.
