Awesome Morning!
This morning was the first morning in a long time where I have had a full week of abstinence from drinking and smoking (I am quitting both simultaneously because I only ever smoke if I am drunk) where I got to sleep in.
Sleeping in sober = 8AM to 9AM; Sleeping in drunk=1pm (with a bad headache and often a mess to clean up and often still tired).
This morning I feel healthier than I have felt in a long long time. I slept like a rock then woke up with a 'morning wood' (lol) that I had not woken up with in a long time...I checked my blood pressure and it was 125 over 75 (as opposed to 153 over 80 when hungover) and my heart was going very very slow at about 55 beats for minute (as opposed to 80-some when hung over). I am 28 and because of not getting drunk and smoking last night, this morning I feel as healthy as a teenager.
Teetotalism rulz!!!!

lol...morning wood...nothing like a physical/visual reminder that you are indeed alive and well 
Our bodies work as they should when we treat them well.
I could not agree more...not drinking is extremely cool.

Me too Billy...I believe in circles, or as I like to call them, spirals. The momentum of the positive upward spiral is powerful, just as is it's opposite. The acknowledgment of small, yet powerful, moments like Colton posted about can be the beginnings of staying up and not down. His glass appears to me to be half-full....and not with booze
