I have 10 days AF and I woke up this morning thinking of all the things that I was able to do because I didn't drink all these nights. Add to the list please with the things you have been able to do because you didn't drink.

My list of things I was able to do because I didn't drink these nights:

I was awake and sober and able to give my sister money to travel to Florida with a friend during an emergency (for her friend).
I was able to have my niece over for the night while her Mama was gone to Florida.
I was able to make a quilt with my Mama and niece.
I was able to watch a TV program last night and remember the show in the morning.
I was able to go to church sober and without a hangover.
I was able to drive to my Mama's house to pick her up without worrying that I was still a little drunk and might wreck my truck.


This list goes on and on.

What were you able to do because you didn't drink all those nights?

Because I didn't drink last night.......

I was able to drive anywhere in town at any time of the day instead of planning around my drinking time.
I took my dogs for a swim and a walk on the beach. Something I haven't done for ages. Usually we just walk around the block if I have the energy.
I cleaned the house. Something I don't usually have the energy or motivation to do very thoroughly.
I woke up feeling healthy.
