Sobriety is a wonderful thing.

For months and months I have typically woken on a Tuesday morning very hungover and wretched. Feeling sorry for myself and completely self absorbed.

Instead, this morning I woke early to the exciting news that my sister was in labour. Because I did NOT drink last night, I woke clear headed and able to be fully present to my sister's news and needs.

How different it would have been if I'd been drinking last night.

Congrats to you!

Helping your sister will be a wonderful thing for you and her.

Doing is sober all the better.

Congratulations......
There's nothing better than going to bed with a clean system and waking up clear as a bell ready to face the world with the ups and downs it presents us!!

Hi! I used to wake up full of shame, remorse and guilt. Happy dogs jumping all over me didn't even help, I felt sorry for them. Yes, sober, the best way to start the day!

Hi noneever, feels pretty good right? I believe it really helps to LIKE being sober. You never have to feel awful again, right?
