Life in Recovery

As I walked home in the dark late, it felt familiar and then I realised how happy I am to be walking home sober, and not stumbling home dead drunk after a night out. Now after a night out I also want to walk home sober!

Then i got home and it felt so nice to go to sleep with a clear head. I have always hated to go to sleep drunk, just don’t like the feeling.

Its like sobriety has giving me this appreciation of how great it feels not to drink. People who have never drank or dont have a drinking problem will never know how amazing it is… I am grateful for the small things… Like having a good nights sleep and not waking up in alcohol induced anxiety and hang over. :slight_smile:

Agreed. I definitely don’t miss waking up at 3am hungover as shit and hating myself.

It is the little things that make this all worth while. :relaxed:

Yup!

For me, alcohol took away my sleep, I could never sleep more than 2-3 hours, the anxiety kept me awake. Horrible.

Agreed… I don’t miss the alcohol induced paranoia and anxiety… don’t get me wrong it’s still there but a clear sober mind knows my thoughts are untrue and I can push them to one side.

Go you, :ok_hand::muscle:🖒

Oh yeah… Forgot to mention it was really fun to play the ball. :slight_smile: haven’t done sports like this since high school (and PE classes were never fun XD) and that was 7 years ago now.
