My daughter can trust me to watch her 1 year old while she's at work.

Having my spouse’s trust and knowing that he doesn’t have to worry about me.

I am 100% there for my 5 year old daughter, day or night. Plus not waking up feeling suicidal every morning is a huge bonus too!!

- waking up without a hangover, every single day!
- no worries about answering the phone at night, now I remember every phone call!
- never having to plan my life around, where, when, how am I gonna drink!

I could go on all day about this

There are so many things...I cant choose just one, so:
1) Mood stability and resilience.

2) The feeling that I'm actually participating in my own life, instead of being a spectator witnessing a tragedy.

I really like waking up feeling good.

But the best thing is how much better I care for my critters when I'm sober.

My favorite part of sobriety is I have my self-control back. When I was drinking I lost all my self-control when it came to drugs, women, money etc... but when I am sober one of my biggest strengths is my discipline and ability to control my emotions/urges.

It obviously hasn't come back as quickly as I'd like but I know the longer I am sober the more my self-control will come back and I am grateful for that. I thought I lost it forever not too long ago.

I’m only 9 days in but I really like the no guilt and not taking the energy obsessing about it, justifying it or anazlyzing if I had a problem and the likelyhood I’d develop a health issue and when
