It's Priceless!
I've been moved to start a thread, so here I go.
Waking up sober has just got to be akin to having a rainbow flow through my veins! If ONLY. I love to write, I love to string words together and I am having one hell of a time trying to describe this sensation of being sober in the morning as I sit here enjoying my coffee and watching my kittens chase each other through my house. When I think about the misery of waking up to withdrawal and wondering where I left my wine - this feels like I've won the lottery.
I've never done anything in my life, besides having my sons, that is so rewarding. This is priceless! Nearly five months sober and counting.

I have a little over half an hour commute to work without too much traffic most of the time. Especially this time of year I look foward to it, job isn't too bad either so I guess that helps. In sobriety I manage to find serenity in a morning commute. Even stand alone, the simple enjoyment of a quiet morning is a good reason not to drink.

The only problem with those rainbows in the veins is when the accompanying pot of gold clogs up the blood flow!
Jk, that's a great feeling, waking up sober like that. Knowing you've put all the grief and heartache of being a drunk behind you. Way to go, Lumen.
