WJW: Exactly! No hangover tomorrow is a great thing. Just remember when the going gets tough during the day: 'If you go to bed sober, you get to wake up sober!'. That helps me too. Glad to see you made it through the day. Wishing you luck tonight. Hang in there! I'll look for you tomorrow.

Thanks for the encouragement tiredmama and someonessister.


I had bad night sweats last night, tossed and turned, but managed to get a little sleep.

It was VERY nice this a.m. not wondering if I did/said something to family last night, and got everyone out the door smoothly with NO HANGOVER!

Appreciate all well wishes! :ghug

Well done NonDrinkingZone....58 days is totally awesome!

WJW; Doesn't it feel great to wake up sober! I've had 17 mornings in a row now where I haven't woken up sick and wondering, OMG, who did I drunk dial last night? did I yell at my hubby (for no reason), how did my baby get to bed, is she ok? and all the rest. It feels great to know exactly what happend, to know I had my dinner, completed my chores, went to bed healthy and happy and have nothing to worry about today as far as apologies owing, etc..

So aim to have another sober morning tomorrow. That's what I'm doing today.

Y'know Tay-lyn...... it's amazing how much stress I had first thing in the mornings, as I couldn't remember much after 5 pm the previous day. Sure, supper was cooked, kids were ok and tucked in safe, but I would be in this "What the Hell happened yesterday?" mode. It brought much anxiety, and self loathing. But round I would go doing it all again the next day!

Thanks for checking in on me, and good for us to have a hangover free morning!:bounce

That is a beautiful thing, isn't it? In addition to that, for me, it's nice to know
when I wake up my car is in the driveway (in the shape I left it), and not having to wonder where these scrapes and bruises came from.

Continued good luck, WJW! Keep it up!
