Reacted to stress and uncertainty and fear without thinking of alcohol.

I had green tea and Kashi cereal for breakfast, instead of my typical hungover meal of french fries and a double cheeseburger.

Cooked dinner for my family, sober. I used to always drink while cooking.

Work out. Feel clear-headed with only 5 hrs of sleep.

Actually finished the laundry. When I was drinking I would start a load and then forget about it - would just sit in washer or dryer.
