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..

No hangover this morning or one tomorrow morning!! :)

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

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

checking every single thing off my to do list & staying positive through it all :)

Buying my new book The Chimp Paradox today - (Dr Steve Peters) hes the guy in the UK who helped Ronnie O'Sullivan and Sir Chris Hoy & Liverpool FC

Im reading a lot and nearly halfway through my current book Illusions 2 (Awesome btw) By Richard Bach

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.

Today my favorite thing about being sober is...

being sober.

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

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.

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

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

I don't have paralyzingly anxiety

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.

I was able to help someone else spontaneously and enjoy doing so at the same time.
Great topic, btw. :)

Not posting on SR I drank today :)

Having more energy and motivation :c011:

I went to work without a hangover. No headache. No sweating. No panic attacks.

Knowing I have an 8am meeting with my boss tomorrow and won't have to worry she'll smell booze on me.

Not feeling sick & tired, like I'm gonna die I feel so ill. Being able to conduct my life & do whatever/whenever I need to. Peace of mind. Enjoying events to the full then coming away when I've had enough and want to go home.

Today I'm just happy I'm sober.

Today I'm happy that I'm trying again instead of just giving up on my life

My emotions are stable. I was on an emotional rollercoaster while drinking, if something bothered me, I would drink to forget about it, which would make me even more obsessed and feeling even worse. Constantly thinking and talking and crying and complaining and feeling sorry for myself about the same thing.

Also, I am hopeful about my life and the future. I have good things going on and things I wish they would be different...but I don't obsess about the bad things in my life thinking my life sucks and that I need a drink to go on. I wish some things weren't the way they are, but it's actually okay. If bad things happen, it's not the end of the world and it will be okay. Finally have some peace in my life.

YES! this is exactly what I feel sobriety has given me already. It is such an amazing change and I only have 53 days. I am so grateful!!!
