18 days in, enjoying no hangovers or wasted days 👍

Liked my Sunday morning, of yo bright and early, getting old junk to the dump, shopping for the Sunday roast, playing games with the kids and cooking the roast. Much better than lying in bed being sick and wanting the world to disappear (this didn’t happen often but felt awful when it did, the shame!).
Feeling thankful.

Congrats on 18 days, lala! Cooking a roast is one of my favourite things to do. Sounds like you had a lovely day

Waking up sober is really special for me, and I don't take it for granted.
