Favorite things about being sober

The energy and not being hungover and being able to sleep and get 8+ hour of it. I used to sleep for 4-5 hours every night.

It feels good just to break habbits, usually i would go and buy alcohol after work and start drinking when i got Home or met up with friends.

Now iam going to have a walk in the spring sun with an old friend and just enjoy being sober and not being hungover and broke with anixiety from hell.

Have a Good weekend all of you

Not waking up with overwhelming guilt and wondering how the previous night ended. And I’ve gotten my cooking chops back! I still obsess and crave, but I feel great coming through those shit times still being sober.

Today I’m thankful for being able to say no. My boyfriend wanted beer in the worst way tonight. And I have to admit, it crossed my mind several times today as well…Because of this app and our conversations, I was able to stay strong. Because I refused to cave, no one drank. Tomorrow evening I hit day #30!! #stillcounting

Like you all didn’t see this coming…

Fluffernutter. Seriously, when I was using I never ate them. No idea why, but I never did.

I didn’t eat the sweet stuff when I was drinking because I usually had something sweet in my drinks. I can’t drink beer (wheat allergy) and straight was never a good idea for me lol

That always led to hangovers when I used mixers

I somehow was actually impressive moving in the wee hours of the morning no matter how much I drank or what time I went to bed. 3 am? Whatever! I rarely got hungover but when I did it was for 2 days lol

Wonderful news!

Being fit and able to race my niece and nephew on bikes and scooters today about 20 times. I was letting them win most races, then I beat them in a few to teach them a lesson and also so I could feel like a winner too.

Good for you, and I could not agree more! My hangovers got so bad that I felt sick for 2 days at a time. What a waste. Now…once of my greatest joys is waking up and not feeling sick!
