I love waking up sober!

Waking up sober, relishing the good nights sleep I've just had, going about my day being fully present and aware, I love it! That is all : )))

It would be nice to wake up sober. And on time. And not feel nauseous in the morning.

Good for you!

This is my first sober night so I will wake up sober tomorrow. If I ever actually fall asleep that is. It is 4am and I am wide awake.

Me too! After years of feeling remorse and guilt in the morning, waking up feeling good with a clear head is wonderful!

Yes, yes, yes!
Waking up sober is actually one of my biggest motivators. It gets me through cravings, just the thought of waking up hating myself and feeling awful once again... It's soul- wrenching.

I agree. ..it's the best feeling in the world. I begin each day with gratitude that I didn't drink the night before.

Yes!

It was one of the many things I'd been taking for granted before I relapsed and one of the first things I missed about being sober afterward when I drank again. I'd forgotten how wonderful it feels to wake up each day clear-headed and guilt-free. I'm still grateful for it every morning.

It's so nice to wake up sober. Showering without having to puke is also high up on my list!

I woke up this morning feeling groggy and thought to myself 'am I okay to drive...maybe I drank too much last night?' Then I remembered that I haven't had alcohol for 18 days! ☺ it was a good feeling.

Yes I agree. What was once the worst part of the day has become the best part of my day. I'm now getting up almost 2 hours earlier before leaving the house for work. I'm on day 15 and still waiting for a burst of sober energy to hit me. (I'm tired,emotional and very itchy) good mornings are indeed what helps get through the rough nights.
