Sober Saturday led to

A Sunday with no hangover!
I had a fun hike with a friend this morning. Feeling positive.
One small setback. I went to the McDonald’s drive through and ordered (and ate) large fries. I’m vegan. I don’t think that their fries are vegan. I’m upset with myself for eating this way. But I kept the fries down. (I had an eating disorder. I would usually have thrown them up).

After our hike, my friend made me coffee in her new coffee press. I’d already had a cup of coffee. But I didn’t want to be impolite. It was very strong coffee. I’m feeling a little jittery now. I wish that I could go and run for a few miles. (You guys must get sick of me saying that!)

Thanks for your support.

You’re right, Steely. It’s nice being clear-minded and not hungover. Not trying to figure out why I’m covered in popcorn and my glasses are missing. Feeling grateful.

I hope when I see ortho on 4/11 that I get clearance to be more active. Thanks, Dee. 💓

Way to go Peke! It's WONDERFUL to wake up clear-headed and without shame or remorse.

I really hope you are running soon as well!

Enjoy your Sunday evening!

Since I got sober (1,337 days ago) the worst I've felt due to something normal - like a poor night's sleep, or being sick - hasn't even been half as bad as a typical Sunday hangover.

And I had no idea, but I'm a total morning person. I almost never sleep past 7AM and I really enjoy waking up early and enjoying coffee and relaxing before the day gets going.

Thank you so much Advbike!!
zoobadger-
you’re right. The worst morning sober feeling (as you said, waking up after not being able to sleep, etc) is still better than waking up with a hangover. It’s truly amazing.

I’m too old to be a binge drinker. My body can’t take it. My mind can’t take it. It’s time to be healthy.
