Last night felt particularly long for some reason. I was entertaining thoughts of imbibing. I was thinking how easy it would be to relax a little with it. I refrained from giving in and when I woke up this morning I was absolutely ecstatic to be hangover free yet again.
I think the hangover free mornings outweigh the hour or so of a good buzz any day. 
What has you feeling inspired in your sobriety today?
Knowing that in October sheila and i will be on our adventures again tour of China Forbidden city , Terracotta warriors, Great wall , then a 7 day cruise from Hong Kong , Vietnam, Singapore, the fly to Delhi India, tour the golden triangle Taj Mahal , Red fort , and a few other famous sites and of course becoming a grandad in Feb next Year and on the 15 th next month ill be 38 years sober so im def feeling inspired keep on trucking
My kids. They’ve made no secret of how happy and relieved they are that my husband and I quit drinking. And I want them to see us kick this so they know, from our possitive example, that it can be done. If, God forbid, they have issues with addiction in the future, I want them to see an example right in front of them that shows there’s a way out. Even better would be if they don’t ever have addiction issues because we’ve broken the familial cycle.
For me, I want to be someone that when folks look at me, they see a strong man of God. Someone they trust, reliable, and feel safe around. They see God in me. All my battles are won with him. And I want to save and share with others suffering.
Also, to be an active, non zombie human again. I’m living through the younger me as well. That kid that was adventurous, funny, and loving (always loved to give hugs). I have a planned camping trip in a couple weeks. I haven’t been in so long. Used to do all of it! Lived in Colorado, Arizona. Been in the mountains. I even work for an outdoors company lol. Just to be alive again 
Inspiration to stay sober comes to me in the form of an existence of discipline I never experienced before. Almost 6 months with out a drop of tequila. Wow if you knew me JUST WOW! I’m following a meal plan that is working and losing weight. I go to the gym at least 4 times a week and look forward to pool exercising and miss it when I can’t get there. I am up early to start the day and accomplish goals (they maybe husband’s goal for me) but I am getting them done.
You are 100% right.
