bad yet good reminders

Was just talking w my friend about being sober & she was like yeh remember that nite we were at the bar & I found you in the bathroom hovering over the toilet? Apparently I said " I thought I was going to be sick but f it, let's go dance". Ummmm I don't remember & that sounds like loads of fun to me- not. This makes me really sad but is my reminder for today that I am grateful to be on day 4. Alcohol makes me such a fool, a different person. I don't want to go back to that

One day you'll laugh at all the insane **** you used to do because it will seem like a completely different life being led by someone that looks like you, but isn't.

Oh, boy, the stories I'm sure we could all share! I'm thankful I only drank at home because I had a tendency to take my clothes off when I was really hammered. I'd find my jeans in one room, my shirt in another, my bra in another .... lordy.

Congratulations on 4 days! It keeps getting better.

Four days rocks!

This morning, on my way to the gym, I was remembering what it was like to have a hangover. Getting up and knowing that the whole day was going to suck. I was never a puker but I would just feel terrible as I soldiered through the day. Breakfast, my beloved coffee, was just a necessary evil. Being nice was a chore. The eternal hair of the dog beers would taste like old grain in dish water. Then into the danger zone, where recovering from the hangover turns into just being drunk again--the second wind can blow straight into the dreaded "day two" hangover and beyond...

I haven't had one in 71 days now.

Day four is awesome...good for you. We do not want to forget those memories of the horrid past, but on the flipside...we don't need to relive them either!
Good Job.
