Good morning to all fellow travellers, wherever you are on your journeys to becoming sober.

I want to always remember this feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning and how good it feels not to shake, feel overwhelmed with anxiety about what I may have done or said the night before, be franticly checking my phone for last nights drunken messages and apologising for them and feeling shame. That shame has gone. I don't miss it one little bit.
I'm free. 21 days sober and I'm not ashamed of myself. That is huge and I love it.

A long long journey still ahead of me, but for now I'm right where I need to be.
Thanks x

Jeni, 21 days sober? You are FANTASTIC. Congratulations. It is a nice feeling waking up on Saturday and remembering what you did on Friday nite.

I love that feeling too. I'm also working on overcoming the feelings of remorse and guilt I have from all my drunken misdemeanors. Too much negativity about my idiot self has perpetuated me drinking to overcome the bad feelings.

Congratulations on your 21 days. That is such a great achievement and I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself. Waking up knowing exactly what you did and having absolutely nothing to apologise for is so good, isn't it?

YES!!! I am 46 days sober and this is the best feeling. Last night I was so close to drinking, but I didn't. I thought about how wonderful it has felt these last few weeks to not have to check my phone in the morning to see what I did or who I texted. I don't wake up with my first thought being "f%$^, I hate myself, I may as well die".

Keep fighting the fight!!

hear, hear! The best feeling! No drunk texts, drunk dials, drunk Facebook postings, drunk fights with hubby or anyone else, and best of all, no fear about what the kids may have overheard.

Good on you, Jeni! And thanks for this really valuable reminder about why never to pick up! xo

Thanks, it would have been 10 had I not gone completely loopy 3 weeks ago!!!
Still, live and learn by our mistakes, that's all any of us can do xx

Good for you Jen!
I too am experience the pleasant mornings that don't include a quick check of my cell/ fb history to remind myself who I talked to the night before. Crazy that it had gotten to that point.
