Today my favorite thing about being sober is...
 
... making commitments and knowing that I'll actually keep them.

You?

A really shallow one:
My eyes aren't as bloodshot and baggy as they were two weeks ago.

I will remember everything I do until I fall asleep..

I take such good care of my pets when I'm sober. :)

Mark1014 10-29-2014 02:34 PM

A clear conscience.........But I have to admit that, like Stevie, I'm enjoying brighter eyes!

When people talk to me I can actually understand what they are saying.

I won't wake up with regret or guilt.

I AM SO EXPLOSIVELY HAPPY! I am literally starting to feel similar to how I was before my addiction to escape. Pre-teen feelings. I also look younger and healthier, already! I don't wake up frightened when I see myself. hahaha.

The chocolate brownies my daughter made, which are just delicious. Food tastes so much better at the moment.

luvmygirls 10-29-2014 03:38 PM

The salad I'm eating. OMG it is delicious.

I just went and had some bodywork done, and the positive changes I make in my health will stick and build on themselves, when I'm sober.

I did all sorts of alternative healing stuff when I was drinking too, and ate organic, and did special food things (vegan, raw for a while, whole foods), exercise, yoga practice, etc. And then I would get drunk. Obsessive health building and the sense of never quite catching the wave of momentum toward feeling good inside my body.

I love it that - sober - all my energy toward health goes toward my actual getting healthier, rather than simply mitigating the crappy physical symptoms of drinking or the damage done by drinking... Improvement vs. Survival

Feeling great, knowing exactly what has happened today and knowing I didn't do anything stupid.

venuscat 10-29-2014 07:30 PM

The screaming in my head has gone....that feeling that I was going crazy or was already completely nuts. It's gone. :)

strategery 10-29-2014 07:33 PM

I am actually feeling good about myself and can look at myself in the mirror.

Itsmytime1234 10-29-2014 07:35 PM

I don't have paralyzingly anxiety

Soberpotamus 10-29-2014 07:37 PM

I'm able to handle the ups and downs, tolerate the little frustrations of daily life, not take too much personally, maneuver through obstacles, wake up in a generally hopeful state of mind, be compassionate and empathetic, and sustain some highly complex thought processes again.
