What......No hangover???
I still get a kick out of not being hungover in the morning.
It's Sunday morning and I was up at 4am, and feel good. Not hacking or coughing my guts out, nor feeling like a grizzly smacked me around for a few hours last night.
Staying sober may not be easy, but it's sure nice to feel good when I get up, so I think I'll just pass on the booze today.
Gotta grab another cup of coffee. Stay sober today, will ya?

It is a nice feeling when weare not hung over.
The fog begins to clear
and we see the world
with a new pair of glasses
as they say.
Enjoy another sober day
as you
sip ur coffeeand continue to read others
experiences strengths and
hopes of how they stay
sober before during and
after alcohol. "POISON"

I woke up with a headache this morning and I'm pregnant so I feel kind of sick, all the time. For a split second I had that sense of dread and regret. The one I haven't had 'for real' for weeks now.
It's like a gift, every morning to realize that I have nothing to try and unearth from my murky, sick subconscious. No nervous questions to ask my husband to try and decode if he's pissed off with me. No fake smiles for my kids. No sneaky lifting of the wine box to see how much is left.
Just, ease.
Thanks for the post, FS!

It's been over ten months since I woke up feeling horrible but each new morning is still a wonderful gift.
Goodbye to hangovers, regret, sickness, and self hatred... I don't have time for that crap anymore cause I'm too busy living!

Two weeks ago today, my first day of sobriety, I spent the morning and early afternoon in bed, way hungover, and feeling like total crap for putting my family at risk the night before, driving home from a party, when I had no business driving.
Since then, I've been up early on Saturdays and Sundays, and have really enjoyed being awake early in the morning without having to get ready for work.
The weekend seems so much longer now without having drinking and hangovers to worry about!

One of my huge motivations too. Being hungover is like winning the lottery, except they pay you in remorse and self-loathing.
No pity. No remorse. No fear

Have to agree with the no hangover bit, but 4AM? Only soldiers on sentry duty, shift-workers and bakers should be up then! I'm intrigued though, what do you accomplish at zero-dark-hundred hours?
Cos IMHO weekends are for sleeping IN!
Oh and Good Morning BTW, it's 6.30 AM here!

It does feel good. Amazing what not putting poison into our bodies does for us!!!
Feeling good is a big motivator. (Not wanting to tell people I relapsed is another big motivator for me.)
Firestorm- I love your posts. They inspire me.

My last hangover lasted for days. Dry heaves, nonstop panic, I though I was losing my mind and that it would never end :/
These days I've befriended the snooze button, nothing beats 9 more minutes. And.. though I'm suffering from bad depression again, I gratefully hold on to the memory of waking up one morning, taking a deep breath, and falling in love with Life all over again.
