good morning! :)
Woke up to my 7 year old crying and saying "mommy I had a bad dream, can we cuddle?" If I had been hungover I would have been pissed to be woken up at 6am to a crying kid, nightmare or not lol. Instead were cuddled up on the couch, coffee in hand-watching the sun rise. Pretty great way to start the day if you ask me.
Its nice, being able to notice all the little things that you didn't appreciate when you were always either drunk or hungover.
Have a beautiful day SR!

Good morning!
I find regularly waking up early to be a superior lifestyle, and recommend everyone give it a try.
benefits
1) it's very rare that someone will wake you up too early, because you're already up!
2) less late-night snacking, because you're already asleep
3) if you want to sleep later one day you can, because you have plenty of time
4) people will think you're the proverbial "early bird" so you are elevated in their eyes as a real go-getter
I can't think of any others and these are kind of a comedic bit anyway, if you hadn't picked that up

^^lol!! Hey I think those are all great reasons to get up early! I have a reason to add to the list!
You dont have to feel like such a loser when you wake up and get on Facebook or talk to "the normal people" you know and hear how productive everyones morning is going- while you're waking up smelling like liquor trying to get rid of you're hangover lol! (At least thats how many of my mornings went!)

Thanks guys! Soberclover, same here! It makes me a little sad thinking about the way I acted towards my kids at times. In the morning I was in such a s***ty mood, then by the evening when I had a buzz I was trying to make up for the morning.. it had to be confusing. Tired hungover mommy is so mean, but drunk mommy wants to bake cookies and do art projects! Feels so much better being in a stable mood, even if that means I'm not as"fun" in the evening as I was when I was drinking. Now our mornings are so much more enjoyable for all of us, and the nights are "normal" nights.
How old are all of your kids? My daughters are 7 and 9 and my son just turned 5. I love the ages they're at.. they're turning into little people and really getting their own personalities. And even though I wish I had got sober earlier, I'm glad they're still young enough for me to try to make up for the bad times.
