I like Bunny's referring to a morning spent with coffee and a laptop.

Beats crawling around with a parched mouth and a brutal headache.

It takes a lot less these days for me to enjoy myself (coffee and a laptop sound pretty good to me) than it did in the old days when I thought I had to burn a village to have a good time.

As Hank Williams, Jr. writes, cornbread and iced tea took the place of pills and 90 proof.

I've recently realized that being in a state of perma-hangover was almost as bad as being drunk eight hours a day. I thought that I didn't get hangovers and stupidly rationalized this into thinking that drinking wasn't affecting me. I see now that really I was almost permanently hungover, and barely able to function even when I was sober. I always felt horrible in the mornings, and it went on so long that I thought that it was just part of normal life.

17 days is a great start. It takes time, but everything is better sober. I was given some great advice early on. Don't try to "fix" everything immediately. Right now you should only have one priority. To stay sober. You are doing well.

114 for me today. Not feeling too great day as I'm starting on a new SSRI today and don't tolerate them too well at first. We shall see how it goes over the next few days.

Waking up hangover-free is the gift sobriety that keeps on giving day after beautiful sober day.

524 days. Going golfing today instead of work. Sober golf - just one more great change in my life.
