I never wake up to a sink full of dirty dishes.

We have to spend every minute of our waking hours trying to stay sober and it can make all of us a little crazy, so I thought I'd start a fun thread. There are endless reasons to stay sober obviously, but it's okay for some of these reasons to be downright silly. A little humor to (hopefully) bring a smile to someone's face who may need it.

So I started it off and I hope to see lots of reasons to stay sober. No matter how small it might seem, in the big picture everything is huge.

My feet don't smell!

Oh and apparently we are on the same wavelength tonight! Tired of the day to day work!

I'll bet your breath is more pleasant as well, lol.

I don't wake up in a panic - with cotton mouth - trying hard to remember just what I said or did the night before.

Hummmm I don't know! Lol

My wife tells me I don't snore as much...so there's that!

FoundmySelf

I always wake up with a smile on my face

No matter how much I hate mornings, there is nothing more liberating then waking up in the morning and remembering what I did the night before. I also love the fact that the first thought is not rolling over and grabbing for the stashed vodka in my night stand drawer. Sobriety at 7am is so much nicer to deal with than a hangover!!!

Cotton mouth was the worst!

That unquenchable thirst. It was a bad feeling.

no anxiety upon waking up in w/d. no sick sick feeling. no hating myself.

Preachin' to the choir!

flamingredhair

Definitely good reasons, least!

i dont have to check the computer with dread, wondering what type of idiot garbage i typed the night before, thinking i was so in depth and inspired, yet all i was was impaired and obnoxious.

I wake up with hope the next morning.

Don't have to face the dreaded spouse "look" the next morning.

I go to bed looking forward to my morning coffee which I couldnt drink hungover made me sick

flamingredhair

We aren't grading the responses, lol.

flamingredhair

Me too! And because the dishes are clean that means the pot is ready for me to just flip the switch! Because I also think ahead and fill it with water, add the coffee, etc. before I go to bed!

This might be TMI, but when I go to bed sober, ALL the morning rituals are satisfying.

Not dreading looking at the previous nights drunk texts.
