I was thinking of starting a thread today called "Sobriety Snowballs"...but yours works well too!

31. you can save the $$ you used to spend on alcohol and pay your bills on time, you can save for a vacation, a car, a new computer, or start making double payments on your mortgage(my choice).

32. you can hang up your clothes in the closet....

next?

33. You won't freak out wondering what happened the night before or wonder who you called and what you said!

34. You will have more time in life since you no longer spend time getting alcohol, drinking alcohol, and recovering from drinking alcohol.

LOL!!!!!!!!


41. Or cringe when the garbage man empties your barrel, waking the whole neighborhood with the crash of all those bottles.....poor guy probably slipped a disc! lol.

42. You don't have to see that store clerk looking at you weird as you buy another load of alcohol.

46. You won't have to set 3 different alarms, timed at 5 minute intervals to make sure you get up for that early meeting/flight. It's amazing what not drinking two bottles of wine the night before does to your ability to get up, feet on the floor, on the first beep of the alarm.

51. You can actually get out there in the world instead of being a recluse.

53. You can get more things done in one day than you could in 2 weeks while drinking.
