1. not having to drive to the liquor store when it opens and buy just enough beer to replace what I'm going to drink today before my husband gets home.
trying to get it..

is dreaming something that happens to sober people?
I rarely dreamed while alcohol was part of my daily routine.
Weird.

*Remembering-phonecalls, conversations, dreams, what I did the night before
*Not waking up hungover and running to the bathroom to throw up
*Not feeling guilty for no apparent reason
*Not fearing the phone ringing, letters in the mail
*Being able to be honest and kind with all the people that matter in my life.

Quoting Hevyn..
Not having that terrible feeling of panic, paranoia and remorse overwhelm you as you try to resurface after a binge.
Really...
No physical cravings
No mental obsession..that is a biggie
Regaining respect (from everyone)
The ability to be grateful
The ability to begin making amends (to just about everyone)
The ability to pray
The ability to listen
Gratitude the flame of spirituality is growing into a fire...
