    One of the best things about being sober is...

    When I hear a police siren I know for sure that its not coming for me.
    I dont have to try and remember what I did last night.
    Theres a really good chance I still have money in my pocket.

    How about it Ladys and Gents add some of your own....
    Love,
    John S.

      I know my car is in the driveway without looking. I know the pets were fed and safe & sound.

        I know I didn't Drunk Dial and do something stupid or hurtful to someone...........and I remember if I did actually talk to someone on the phone!
        Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

          I think I have to be sober for more than 20 hours (day 1 is almost over) but I would echo not saying hurtful things to the people I love which I do not do when I'm sober and not wondering where my latest bruise came from because I don't even remember falling!

              What I love most about sobriety is being able to sleep right through the night, without that awful alcoholic wake-up, and dry mouth. That, and the subsequent escalation in positive self-esteem. I feel alright about myself, like there is some purpose. I get motivated to be a better person.

                Feeling healthy!
                My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

                    and theres more.....

                    Not feeling guilty, not being ashamed of my recycling, reading to my son without wondering where my drink is, not saying yes to remembering conversations the night before and wondering what I agreed to! Feeling hopeful, watching a late night film, smiling at my partner when he comes in past 9pm and remembering it, cuddles in bed.....and a hundred more... This thread has appeared before and there were some wonderful things but no AFs in a long time has wiped them from memory

                    Hopefully yours Sal

                        Not frantically looking for bottles stuffed in drawers ...
                        AF since Jan. 1, 2008 .... It all began right here

                          Waking up with a clear head - not with that sinking feeling that you did something stupid the night before but cant't remember what it was..............

                            Oh yes......the bruises. I have had bruises on my legs, my elbows, my forehead is always a fun one to explain. I think the most important thing that I have from being sober is NO GUILT. If one could actually die from guilt.....I would be dead!

                              -Not being paranoid about what I did or said.
                              -Not having to pretend I remember something that I actually blacked-out.
                              -Not waking up sick & headachy & pretending everything is OK.
                              -Not having to find an out-of-the-way trash barrel to sneak my empties into.
                              Wisdom, Courage, Strength
