Waking Up Sober ROCKS!
Sorry, I just need to say this here as I feel so full with happiness I actually want to yell but I bet the neighbours would not appreciate that 
I woke up sober! I'm having my morning tea outside and setting the time to meet for my plans today - all clear head, happy, and sober from my gig day yesterday. This is also my 3rd weekend and to feel like this again on a Sunday has not happened for me in over so many years I am ashamed to put a year to it. Seriously, waking up sober and fully able to take on whatever I want today is unbelievable. Thank you SR.

Shout it from the rooftops, my friend.
I have said it before, but I wish I could somehow "gift" every drinker with the precious feelings of peace and well-being that come from continued sobriety.
You think you feel good at three weeks? Wait till a year has passed. Your mind will be blown.

The great thing is that you are just scratching the surface copperfield.
Of course be mindful that your dirty little AV will try to leverage how you feel into drinking again, because of course, now you are healthy and it will be normal drinking, right??? Anyway, enough about that.
I love so much about being sober and long quiet mornings are one of the things I love the most. Last night at about 2 a.m. I had to get up for an hour to cry with a teen daughter who broke up with her boyfriend. It was so great being able to wake up and be there for her and be present, and not angry-drunk-hungover-pissed off. When I went back to bed it was such a great feeling knowing that in the morning, I'll be a bit tired, but I'll feel healthy and peaceful. And here I sit.
I'm happy for you copperfield. Keep working your plan.

Being sober on a Sunday morning is particularly gratifying for me. For years, I woke up at 7am on a Sunday after passing out at drunk at 3am. The liquor stores here don't open until noon on Sunday so that's 5 hours of excruciating anxiety until I could get relief. Always hated Sunday's.....

Way to go and I so agree. It is crazy to step back and think what this really means though. Too wake up sober/not hung over is so former to those of us with alcoholism but it is the normal way to wake up Crazy how we got to where we are.
Edited to add: Where we WERE!

Waking up without a hangover never gets old!
