Waking up
How wonderful it is to wake up these days.
That first thought upon awakening. That awful thought. Did I drink last night? Did I make a fool of myself again? Did I drive drunk? Have I wet the bed? Have I hurt more loved ones? Am I in trouble? Oh no what did I do!
And then realizing.............................
I didn't drink. I don't drink anymore. I didn't make a fool of myself. I didn't do any of those things that used to fill me with guilt and the only way to supress those feelings was to drink more.
I feel good.
I shall never drink again and I'll never change my mind.

Yep, waking up sober is such a great thing. It validates your decision to remain sober yesterday. I never woke up sober and thought, "darn, I wish I had got drunk last night."

With that kind of attitude, it won't be long before you wake up in the middle of night, only to get up and clean the house, do the laundry, wash the dishes, take out the trash, and read a good book.
just saying....
