The best thing about sobriety is sobriety, itself.

It is its own reward. Like water being poured into a potted plant on a hot summer day. Your body and mind are benefitting in a multitude of ways.

i posted a list before. it was huge. in a nutshell pretty much everything got better for me. i view that as evidence, when AV throws "those questions" at me.

The best thing is that sobriety brings your risk factor down. Driving, health, career...... the list goes on and on.

Alex, have a read of selected posts from your other thread.
I imagine not feeling that way is one of the best things!

Peace of mind is the best thing for me.

All these posts are awesome! They each are soooo true! I haven't had a drink in a couple weeks and I'm feeling better every day. It's such an awesome feeling getting my old self back, slowly but surely. One thing that really helped me; I read "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking" by Allen Carr. AMAZING BOOK! I read it three times just so I could absorb all the information. One the most important things I remember in the book: Allen states that we are all being conned into drinking alcohol. It is all an illusion. It's not the alcohol that addicts us, but the ILLUSION that we are getting a genuine pleasure once we drink it. Once I read that, it all started to make sense for me.

We just read a story in my BB meeting on Monday, “My chance to live”, and the person that wrote it said it how I feel….

“Sobriety is nothing like I thought it would be”.

There are all the physical improvements to note for sure but the serenity, peace and the ability to just live without the constant battle and obsession that I had been carrying for over two decades is indescribable. You really have no idea how much of what we carry weighs on us until we put it down.

The feeling of being free is the best thing about sobriety. I am free and I can remain free with just some willingness and action. It has not failed to bring results. Even the slightest progress gives me hope.

That is how I keep my faith. If I continue to remain willing, open minded, include action and give it away to my HP, I can remain this way for the rest of my life if I want to.

I want to. I hope that if I ever don’t want to I will again, do the right thing and reach out as I have in the past and get the help I need instead of thinking I can handle it all alone. The idea of being alone or doing it all alone no longer appeals to me.

It is a gift I do not intend to ever give back.

For me, it's being able to live what I perceive to be a normal life.

A lot has been said what I feel already but the best thing about being sober ?

A peace within myself
