What a relief

What a relief to not have to drink today.

Welcome to the newcomers.

One day the desire to drink will leave you.

Yes, I love the freedom I get from living sober.

Great post, KE.

Such a relief not to wake up with a hangover
Such a relief not to have to count my money out and wonder how I can get enough cash to buy enough alcohol
Such a relief not to have to rotate shops and feel embarrassed for buying the cheapest, nastiest alcohol available
Such a relief not to make a complete fool of myself in blackout
Such a relief not to fall off my bed, self-harm or start counting out pills for suicide because I'm so drunk
Such a relief not to wake up with shame and dread because of what I did the night before and to want to drink again to make those feelings go away.

What a relief to be out of that cycle! I thought I'd never be free of it. To anyone reading this, KE is right - you can be free too!

Louise, I woke up this morning, and thought Thank God, I can hop out of bed! I don't have to sleep all day!

I get to live! What a gift!

Let's have the best day ever!!!

Great posts! I woke up this morning and thought 'not again'. Then I found SR and it's so good to find people who can describe the misery and know you're not alone
