Enjoying a reflective morning with coffee and the laptop as I listen to the morning sounds out my sliding glass door. Fall will be here soon and I won't have the luxury of an open door with the morning air. Trying to embrace what seems to be my new lifestyle of spending more time with me, myself, and I. There was a tickle of feeling sorry for myself last night and wanting to go out to see who was out and about, but I decided I really was too tired so went to bed instead. Glad this morning to be well-rested. Ok Sober Saturday....bring it on!

Good morning everyone. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I felt like I was going to die when I woke up. Today, I don't have a lot of energy, but I feel somewhat normal.
Alcohol is poison. This time, I'm done with it for good.

It's Sunday morning and I am sober ! I am so grateful to start the day fresh with hope and not hungover. Slept like the dead (as I have for past few days) and woke up nice and relaxed. Now to prep for a cruisy run....

Hi Guys, checking in from a rainy Philadelphia. Just got back from seeing "The Prisoners," which I highly, highly recommend. Now making a meatloaf (yes, I cook in the middle of the night...better than drinking tho!) and then going to listen to some music and go to bed.
This past month I realized I can listen to music again! Mecanix, your post reminded me of that yesterday. I couldn't listen to music (live or otherwise) for so many months after I quit because I used to love to drink wine and sit up for hours listening and singing along. I can do that again now...sober!! I missed music so much so I am very, very grateful for that.
Keep strong guys, this is so very worth it.
See you all tomorrow! ((Hugs))

End of day 2 for me. And I've realized something small: me and alcohol would always get together because it made things more fun. But I binged on video games, SR, Big Bang Theory, and other internet activities today. None of it would have been more fun with alcohol. That was just my addictive voice speaking.
Now when I get bored, I'm just going to do something I think is fun. I don't need alcohol to "add" to the fun. Especially when it simply doesn't. It just makes me dumb and feel like crap.

Imabuleva ,
future goals are cool , but for me they were part of the problem , my standards were so high that when i hopelessly missed attaining them or had the slightest set back it was a crushing defeat because i'd hung such hopes on the future that it made me miserable in my todays and then to me in that moment of self inflicted misery alcohol held more appeal .
Sober sunday everyone , lets do this , its only 24 hrs , wooo woooo wooo *ring ring*
