Hangover free morning
This is the feeling I wish I can capture forever, keeps my brain in optimistic mode.
I had a pretty good day yesterday and was relived to pay up all my bills and do all my grocery shopping yesterday. And also had a good night at work. Then came home and did a bunch of cooking to have food for the next few days. Then actually got a good nights sleep, woke up made some breakfast sipping on coffee and reading stuff on here. Plus it's a gorgeous day outside to boot. Moments like this it gives me hope I can really beat this thing. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

They do feel amazing dont they.
Better than having to pop an antacid and struggle through half drunk.
I long for these types of mornings again, and posts like this are my inspiration.
Congratulations !! And keep up the great progress

congratulations from a newcomer
I can't wait to feel that way. It has been only four days with me, but I am so depressed about my life (problems and shame caused by drinking) that I am not where you are yet. Congratulations to you. You give me hope.

Take an emotional snapshot of it. Sounds like a really great, and more importantly, real day. In recovery there are some days better than other but with sobriety we also provide ourselves the opportunity to open the door for those great days. And if you think about these special days they are just about living normally and healthfully. Alan Watts says normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them. Like getting over an illness (which we are) normal just feels so blessedly wonderful. Enjoy.

There will be days like this. It's easy to lose sight of them. I think that was part of my reason for falling off the wagon and going on a binge was I lost focus and forgot to enjoy these small simple pleasures in life that sobriety can bring. Why I said I wish could hold onto this feeling forever, never would need to have another drink for the rest of my life!
