The Morning After
 

This morning I awoke and the first thing that hit me was, oh god, what did I do last night, did I argue with my wife, is she speaking to me this morning, how much did I drink. Then it dawns on me, wait a minute I never drank last night, actually I'm sober this morning, I'm going to drive to work with a clear head and not worry with anxiety while driving my vehicle that I might get in to an accident. That I can walk in to work and won't need to hide from anyone so not to speak to them, while I compose myself to face the rest of the day getting sober at work, only to start thinking about drinking again while driving home and hence start it all over again. Today I woke up sober and broke the cycle and I am free. Wooo Hooo

Great job Minibk, That's something to be proud of. Keep it up.

Awesome right ?
I'm a year in and still realize that same thing almost everyday, it doesnt get old, its odd what it took for me to just appreciate a morning :), not going back for sure, congrats on a great decision, and I no longer worry about whether or not someone is near enough to smell the night before in my breath(or god forbid the the morning nip) , I dont really even care about coffee breath now lol

Wow...you made my day, i love reading positive eneregy, keep going, i am on day 21 :)

That's great Mini! Have a great sober day:)

Thanks Guys, Today is Day 11 so that morning feeling is still very odd, but I'm loving it!

Good job Mini.

It's like a reprieve from a judge, I find.
I'm really happy for you.

It's amazing how Alcohol takes over all common sense. There am I driving knowing I am over the limit and that if I'm caught that I will lose my job and shame will become upon me from my family. But yet that AV dismiss all that and says what the heck. Here's to a lovely cup of Tea!

I felt that way this morning and it's been almost three years since my last hangover. There were lots of parties this weekend and I didn't go to any of them. I've had to think about some heavy stuff but it's getting better without drowning in beer!

Fantastic stuff!! :You_Rock_

Scary, I know what you mean, well done :):tyou

way to go miniBK :)

D

What a huge relief! Proud of you.
