    I Love Being Sober Because....

    OK so the "I hate drinking because" and "I wish" threads were very popular so how about a thread about "I love being sober because....."

    I'll start!

    I Love Being Sober because:

    I have more energy to do all the things I need to do
    I have more energy to do all the things I WANT to do
    I have more patience with Miss 2 and Miss Nearly 4

    I Love Being Sober Because....

    Because:
    • I have a sense of hope, instead of hopelessness and despair.
    • I want to live... I no longer think it would be just as good to die.
    • I sleep well at night, and wake up feeling good.I always know what I did the night before.I am no longer realistically afraid of humiliating myself, doing/saying something unacceptable or just embarrassing, while drunk.I am no longer living a double life, pretending that I am healthy and sane, while living a crazy hidden life of self-destruction.

      Because:
      I am not so angry and resentfull all the time.
      I don't hate myself because I'm drunk.
      I am learning how to cope with life sober insteading of hiding in a bottle.
      AF since 7/26/2009

        - I can tell people what I don't like, without getting nasty
        - I can put out the recyling without hiding the bottles in it
        - I exercise more and choose healthy food
        - I know when I'm tired, instead of staying up till all the booze is gone
        - I enjoy bedtime reading when I remember what I've read the night before
        - I never have to plan how to get home
        - I never have to worry about being caught drink/driving again
        - I don't wake up feeling like a guilty failure
