    HOW!?!!!

    How, in the past, did I keep forgetting how fantastic it feels to wake up sober?? I know day 1 is super tough and you want to throw it all out the window at times but u feel fanfreakingtastic when u wake up the next day without a hangover and it's true!!! U do NOT wake up the next morning and say "geeze, I wish I drank the night before".

    Happy sober day everyone.

        HOW!?!!!

        Yup. ) doing pretty good so far.
        Being sober really is better then being a drunk.
        It's just always so hard the first day. To get over that hump. Your voice is particularly LOUD then. Once you wake up sober though - you're on a roll.
        Of course you have ups and downs but I haven't had any major cravings the past three days.

        Hope everyone is doing well.

        Can't find my little huggy people but hugs to all!

          Hi Bri!
          I just wanted to say hi to you...I've been having trouble with my computer, logging in and losing posts....blah blah, I've complained about it enough already. LOL I just didn't want you to think I vanished on you. I'm still here supporting you! I'm glad you're doing so well. I agree that the first day is hard, because that's the day you start to break the habit...but like you said, once you wake up with no hangover, you start to realize it really IS better not drinking! Glad you're doing good!

            Hey K9!
            Thanks for the message! I was wondering where you had gone. ) I am glad to hear you are doing well. How is the not smoking going? Still goo for me lol, but still struggling with the booze but it's day 4 for me tomorrow!
            Just trying to stay busy - but it's still okay even if it's slow! )
            I guess that's a good thing. Just need to remember it all the time.

                I know everyone won't agree, but staying sober is as easy as you want to make it. If you cherish sobriety and the feelings it brings it will take any excuse for drinking out of the equation.

                I know I struggled for years until I put as much effort into being sober as I used to put in getting drunk.

                The problem isn't with our willpower, it's with what we choose to use our willpower for.

                    :goodjob: Bri! I agree with MB, you sound sooo much better. It's a lot easier on the mind when you just take AL off the table.

                    As usual, on the money SC!

                        And the thing to remember if/when you do get a major craving is that it won't last. You have to look beyond the moment. Think about waking up the next day and feeling sober and what you'll want then not what you want during the craving.

                          HOW!?!!!

                          I definitely will keep that in mind Fly Away.
                          My problem and real test is going to be the weekend...a big soccer game and friends coming over.
                          Tomorrow there is a function I have to go to where there is going to be ample amounts of alcohol and we are going with some people that I call "pushers" they are quite the wine fanatics and drink a lot and it's going to be tricky around them.
                          I will prepare myself though for that for sure as I don't want to make a fool of myself there...

                          Thanks Fly!

                            The AL mind will try to trick you in forgetting how it feels to be hangover free in the AM sometimes.
                            I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

                            Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

                            Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

                              I know, that's the toughest part, because I didn't always get hangovers - didn't always drink ballistic the night before...but that thinking had gotten be into trouble in the past.
                              Thanks Drifty.
