Joys of Sober Mornings
Every morning is a fresh start and you never know what the day will bring. My favourite time of day is the morning. I wake up, make my coffee and while I sip it, I go through the news, various websites, see what's happening with friends on facebook and plan my day. I take my dogs for a walk on the beach and marvel at how beautiful life is. Who knows what may happen today? Will I meet someone new and exciting? Will something awesome happen? Or maybe something awful will happen. You just never know.
Because I don't know what life will throw at me, I want to be able to face whatever happens, fully functional and present. I can't do that if I'm not sober or hungover.
It's been over 2 years since my last drink. Waking up without a hangover is a joy. I don't worry about what I might have done or said. I don't need to check my phone or facebook to see if I've done something stupid. I get up and can face the day and take on whatever challenges come.
Some days are wonderful and filled with happy times and joy and some days crap happens. Guess what - that's life.
So, to those who are struggling - it gets better. Don't throw away glorious mornings and a chance at a fresh start and sober life.

So true! Just finished a productive Sunday and am looking forward to my hungover free morning. I'll be prepared and fresh to start the workweek! Not to mention that I won't be dragging ass or searching for my keys or not having time to make breakfast or a lunch. So much better this way. 😊

I agree!
Having a nice big cup of coffee and relaxing, stretching, feeling good, at ease, not hungover, no headache, sober and able to handle whatever the day throws at me. Mornings on the weekends are my favorite!
