Middle of the night.
I woke in the middle of the night, to use the facility (TMI, Yes?). The first thought in my head was " Im not hungover", " I will be energized and perfect in the morning"
Now, after a cup of coffee and feeling the sunshine, i am well on my way to having a fine day. No headache, no regrets... What a great start!

I always woke up still drunk . . .
I love the days I wake up now, hit a cup a coffee and feel like I can take on the world. As opposed to waking up, hoping I didn't get pulled over on the way to work, and trying to hide from the world.
Who knew there were positive things about being sober?

It truly is a good feeling to wake up at any time during the night to realize that I didn't drink and to be able to actually fall asleep again as I'm not riddled with anxiety about what I'm going to do the next day because I didn't get enough sleep, drank too much, can't find my car, .....and so forth!

It's truly liberating, isn't it Mizzuno?
I would wake up multiple times during the night with sore throat and heavy head, sweating and dreading the 7am alarm and shame and regrets for drinking another ****load of poison. Often not able to find sleep again...
Past week I have not only slept full stretches of 8 hours a night, almost every night, but the few times I did wake it was exactly like you described: relief... I even smiled at myself in the 'facility' mirror

YES!
The first mornings after I quit were quite a revelation. In the first seconds after waking I would realize - hey, I'm not hungover! I feel pretty good!
While it's only been three weeks for me, (still, yeah!), I like the feeling of going through the day not feeling like crap. Makes me very happy.
