Today it allowed me to babysit my grandkids for a while today so that my daughter could go shopping.
Nothing beats having my 4 year old granddaughter give me a big hug out of the blue and then tells me that "I love you so so much grams grams!"
Grandson left me a nice surprise in his diaper so I guess that is his way of saying "I love you too!"
It is just so nice to be in the moment with them and not be wanting to rush home to drink or be annoyed because I am hung over. Life is so good

Yesterday my sobriety allowed me to to be productive in the evening and start spending some time with our youngest on mowing the lawn. He know's a better (easier/shortcut) way to do everything before he even know's what he's doing. So teaching him to do something correctly is like pulling teeth; I never would have had the patience if I was drinking.

Today, my sobriety allowed me to train for the marathon with my kid without worrying whether I might blow it all at the last minute to "call in sick".
Today, my sobriety continues to let me enjoy my kids without alcohol and guilt on my breath.
Today, my sobriety helps me work on my plan and my lists. And no parts of my plan allow for alcohol to enter my life ever again. I am done negotiating with it.
Today, my sobriety encouraged me to treat myself in healthy ways and do nice things for myself (I went to pick out that sobriety ring, ladies
)
Today, my sobriety allowed me to feel tired without considering to relieve it with alcohol.
Today my sobriety offered me much more than alcohol ever did for me.

Today my Sobriety allowed me to spend most of the day with my Mom and have a fully present and productive day getting ready to register for college and spending time at my parents house.

In my third day. . . . . . my lower back, which has tormented me for many months with stiffness and twinges of pain with certain movements, making me aware of it every single day. . . . .. . . . Well, the discomfort is virtually gone! I was able to forget all about it for hours today.
And yes, I attribute it to the absence of inflammatory substances in my body-- alcohol and all grains are gone.

This was very helpful, thanks! Today is my 1st sober day so i can't really chime in, but this gives me alot to look forward to! As well, very relatable - social media, forgotten conversations due to blackouts, and going to work half-ass, worst ever! Feeling like a fraud, not good! Anyway, thanks all for your insights.

It is only 7.30am here but Today my Sobriety will be the blueprint for my day: gym very soon, grab a coffee on way home. visit parents and shop this morning, cook this afternoon and have some good friends for dinner. I love sobriety - my days are productive and I am so much happier than when I was drinking.
