I just got off the phone with a friend, having some of those good laughs - I couldn't agree more. AND, I get to remember and re-enjoy those laughs (whereas before I may not even remember laughing and sure as heck didn't remember what I was laughing at - or if I did, it wasn't really funny).

I love my sober laughs now!
I used to never ever remember any good nights where drink was concerned.
It also made me a paranoid mess all the next few days. I would be on edge, have soaring anxiety.
Now when I look back I think how an earth did I class drinking as fun? I would set myself a limit to not get too drunk, then one drink turned to 10 plus drinks, a blackout, being put to bed, waking up the next morning hating myself for failing then laying low off the radar for the next few weeks to avoid people I made have made a fool of myself with,
That could go on for weeks too!!!!
How is that fun, weeks of torturing myself and hating myself?
And then to it all over again........................!
Honestly such madness.
I am at the point now where I feel good and strong in my resolve to not drink where people are drinking. I often excuse myself and go to bed early, call it a night and love leaving them to get on with their drinking.
The best laughs are the sober laughs for me.
The best times are the sober times with me.
I could never go back!
I am happy to see you smiling lovely lion! Keep smiling, keep being here.
Wishing you the best xxxx

I agree a good sober belly aching snorting cause you can't breath laugh is way better sober! I also had that today for the first time googling funny auto correct text messages. I laughed so hard this after trying to email my pres schoolers teacher. I was trying to say duck duck goose and it read s?ck d?ck goose. Almost peed my pants laughing
We all need to laugh and laugh hard thanks for the reminder
