Joy Comes In The Morning
Last night was rough. I was really tempted to drink. But I thought it through and knew that one sip would result in a quick slide into the depths. And I've fought too hard for these 141 days of sobriety to just throw it away.
But even as I slept, I dreamed of alcohol. Of buying it. Of locking myself up alone. Of taking that first sip. This isn't the first time I've dreamed about it. And it's not the first time I've been tempted hard. But through all of this there is one constant.
Every single time, I wake up the next morning and I'm extremely glad I did NOT drink. I never wake up and think "man, wish I had drank last night".
It's hard, but it gets easier. And peace often comes in the morning after the storm.

Yeah. You'll never, ever wake up and think "oh I wish I had drank last night!" It's a 100% sure thing you'll wake up and be glad you are sober - and this is really saying something, considering that so many things in life aren't 100% anything.

Thanks for posting..... this is true and something to remember!
I know that feeling and you're right. Its tough today but I want that feeling in the morning.
That feeling of waking up, sick, pathetic and desperate that you have leftovers is horrific and the most lousy, lonely place to be. Getting through the tough evenings has its perks in the morning. Thanks for the reminder!
