Don't you love that Saturday morning sober feeling?!
Friday and Saturday nights have always been very heavy drinking nights for me, and also very bad triggers as I've battled for sobriety. What I love about being sober is waking up on a Saturday morning and having a clear head, looking forward to the day ahead, not having to sleep off a hangover, not having to try to piece together what happened the night before. I read a quote from a recovering alcoholic and it's stuck with me...."sobriety is the best gift I've ever given myself"
And knowing you have 2 full days before Monday morning. Days that you can do what you want and not fill praying the hangover's gone by then x

Yes , woke up at 630 am this morning, drove to gym and done 10 k on treadmill , back reading papers in back garden with coffee a bit later. Whole day still ahead of me and feel so good, only sad thing thing is I still can't stop looking back and thinking about the 25 years plus of wasted weekends and hangovers and the absurdity of alcoHELL.

Sitting on the front porch on a cool crystal clear morning with the dogs. Drinking coffee and enjoying life. Will be going to an AA meeting shortly, part of my Saturday morning routine. My head is clear and my body is healed. Alcohol is a thing of the past and a great life is destined for my future.
Sobriety has been very good to me so far. Not all days are good days but my worst day sober is better than my best day drunk

Oh yes....absolutely! I love just sitting in my chair with the windows open having my coffee and feeling fully rested. I struggled with awful insomnia when I was drinking, and now I sleep wonderfully every night! So true...a sensational gift!

Absolutely. Waking up feeling a little groggy from nice deep sleep, hot coffee, on my laptop in bed with my doggies at my feet. Had I drank last night, I would be waking up not fully rested, headache, hating myself for drinking (again) and deciding whether I'm going to suck up the hangover or just drink again to help it go away some. UGH. How on earth is that fun??
