Towards the end of my drinking I had severe anxiety and head demons once I stopped drinking and started going through withdrawal...it wasn't even a hangover...it was hell on earth!

I have 15 months of sobriety and Today I feel good enough to do just about anything!

Add me to the not hangover list
I woke up feeling fresh and rested, meditated and now I am ready to tackle the day. It is nice not to be puking first thing in the morning LOL

It's so wonderful to wake up and not have any memory lapses from the night before, or try to piece together memories from text messages I barely remember!!

Without the hangover that I had every day for years.... I just finished my breakfast while hanging out with you fine folks and will face the day with enthusiasm and vigor. Yard work, washing my 4x4 and doing housework will come easily without the pain of recovering from excessive alcohol consumption.

No hangover. No Tazmanian Devil anxiety. Not deep depression. No vomiting. No making up lies to cancel my appointments. No reaching for a half-empty bottle of vodka. No wishing I were dead.

I have a couple of things to do today that I'm not looking forward to, and several things I like doing. If all goes as planned, I'll do all of them.

Just woke up in a city right by the Bay...after watching a beautiful fireworks display last night..sober. Went down into the city and grabbed a coffee whilst watching all the city folk whizzing by in their worlds. People are interesting. Life is interesting. Okay..I am trying to quit smoking...and I did buy a pack..have one...and then gave the rest of the pack to an "unfortunate" picking up cans on the street. Still sober...the smoking thing is a work in progress : )

Nuudawn, sounds lovely


Because I'm not hungover, I'm enjoying a great cup of coffee before getting some reading, writing, exercise and meditation done. Then I'm off to a training class for my volunteer work at the women's shelter. I'd probably not be doing any of this with a nasty hangover.

Because I am not hungover I will be taking my dogs to the dog park to meet up with my daughter and her dog, something I really enjoy. Also, after 2 weeks of insomnia I finally crashed for nearly 8 hours. Not the best sleep, woke up a few times and had a crazy dream but at least it was sleep. It's a good day.

I was able to workout and stop to relax without freaking out about getting to work.

NO HANGOVER!! WOOT!!! And as well, it is officially 2 weeks for me today. (yay me) It's not even noon yet, and I've enjoyed a full morning of coffee, dishes, vacuuming, and I've already been to the grocery store and back! Hah....and when I washed my face this morning, I looked in the mirror and kinda said to myself, 'Geez, self, u look pretty good!!.....lol'

Otherwise, I might still be in bed licking my wounds, and a trip to the mirror might yield a response more like, "Holy mother of god.....wtf were you up to last night??!" lol

Happy sober Thursday to you all, and keep on keepin' on! :-) :-)

Day 3! Went to the gym, came home and did a 10 minute meditation then made a smoothie. Yum :-) Looking forward to going back to work next week and carrying this newfound freedom with me.

Love that tag from iPhones.

With me, it used to be, "Sent from the Island of Lost Souls and the City That Time Forgot."

Not being hungover means I got up early, no shakes, no nausea, no headache or cotton mouth. Not being hungover enabled me to go for a walk before work, to enjoy breakfast, to be productive at work. It's the best feeling ever and I hope it never goes away. Being sober is a gift that I'm very grateful for.
