What little thing about sobriety are you enjoying today?
 
Me: I drove through a neighborhood that had garbage day today and I thought... "No recycling bin embarrassment for me anymore!" :scoregood

I'm enjoying my wife and dog not being afraid of me...

Actually working!

Programmer27 11-17-2011 11:42 AM

Not being absolutely miserable?

haha... I had a nice drive today in the sun, and it didn't give me a headache. It was actually quite nice, and the temperatue here is perfect.

Gave my dog a bath..not sure she appreciated it as much as I did.

Ha, I know exactly what you mean. My trash absolutely clinked, and I had mucho plastic tonic bottles that were a bit embarrasing.

Little things like this are well worth noting.

I am grateful that I don't have to worry about what I am going to do tonight and that I don't have to worry when I wake up tomm about not remember what I did tonight.

I'm grateful to be free of that exhausting cycle of alcoholism.
Life is by no means perfect, but I like the guy in the mirror now.

I read SSIL75's and laughed...I thought I was the only one that had that dilemma! lol Ya gotta crush the cans, put them in first and then cover them up with your "normal" garbage so no one thinks anything. I used to get SO stressed over this! Especially when I forgot to take out recycling from the week before and didn't have room so I'd have to put the cans in my regular garbage and freaked out for the next month from guilt because I didn't recycle them....oh boy, what a loon. lol

The fact that I was able to go for a ride on my mountain bike and enjoy the outdoors

StPeteGrad 11-17-2011 12:44 PM

I don't have to say "I'm sorry" to anyone so far.

UofI2008 11-17-2011 12:50 PM

Actually being able to attend the conference I'm at and pay attention even though my withdrawal symptoms are leaving me with that impending doom feeling.

I can walk my dogs any time I want to!:) I'm never too drunk or sick to walk them, and the exercise, sunshine, and fresh air do us all a world of good.:)

Listening to my dad reminisce about his navy days in the 60's (though much of it revolved about shore leave and being drunken sailors!)

That I won't have to worry again about someone asking me "remember that time when... " and I really have no clue.

quitforme79 11-17-2011 01:41 PM

Not feeling awful anxiety :)

GhostDogg 11-17-2011 01:42 PM

I'm enjoying being truthful. with myself and with others.

I enjoyed sitting down and reading a couple of books to my baby earlier today. Now I'm enjoying cooking chicken and dumplings to surprise my husband with when he gets home from work. It is incredible how much more time and energy I have when I'm sober!
