This alcoholic is....dare I say it?...happy, today
Getting up early to hit AA at 6:30 and spending the day with family with a clear head, really beats....the alternative. Weekends aren't so bad after all.

My very favorite part of early sobriety was waking up in the morning! No pounding head, no wondering what I said, no worrying what I might have done. It was my first taste of freedom. These days, I often take it for granted. Thank you for reminding me.

First time in a long time that I lived a good day. Not gutted through a good day, or floated through half a good day, or passed out in the eve of a good day, or dragged myself through a good day, or pretended to be happy on a good day....Just lived a good day.

Thanks for sharing!
I had a pretty intense span from Thu through early evening yesterday- I pitched in at a restaurant as a server during their busiest wkd of the year due to an Anime Convention, and worked 10-13 hours Thu-Sat, ran my almost-best (by 9 min!) 5K early Sat morning on three hours sleep, had an important mtg yesterday for the recovery group I lead, and finished with much needed yoga class to help my (very) sore self....and it was GOOD. My fiance even commented that he was proud of how I got through all this without any meltdown, grousing or such....I credit my program.
Good days definitely outnumber bad days here at 19+ mo for me! It's a great deal we get in sobriety- keep going!

I've never made it past 4 months. I don't know what happens to me at that point, but i worry about it....I've had many, many, many 3 and 4 month sobriety runs. I'll still be at AA and still be here, hoping it will just be tough but I'll grit through it. I don't feel like I have the option to drink any more, but that feeling is not new to me early in sobriety.
