    The great thing about not drinking is...

    Ok thought I would start to post what we like about not drinking (don't know if this has been done recently but here goes anyway!)


    I can drive first thing in the morning and not have a cardiac arrest and blush madly every time I see a police car!

    Mauri, I am so with you on that one - that's how I was most mornings for a looong time!
    What about being able to speak to someone without standing 5 to 6 feet away in case they smell what you were up to the night before?!

      Here's another:

      Being able to nip to the shop and not feel the need to skulk off to the wine aisle! (just called for some cup a soups!)

          Looking in the mirror first thing in the morning and seeing ME instead of some puffy, splotchy, squinty eyed stranger.

            Having a clear head every morning instead of feeling fuzzy and exhausted.

              Being productive in the evenings. By being productive I mean doing things for me at the end of the day ie. reading, blogging, chatting coherently on the phone, etc. That is a huge difference. Before it was sitting, staring vacant eyed at the TV screen while buzzed hubby did the same.

              I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

                      When you realise you've laughed and laughed so hard and feel so good and it dawns on you that it was 'real' - alchohol not required. Yes!

                        The great thing about not drinking is that I like myself more and I don't feel embarrassed and worried all the time about stuff I said or did even if it was nice during a blackout.

                          I was such a prisoner in my home at the end of my drinking. I'm loving my FREEDOM to drive any time day or night. I'm loving doing whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it, with a clear mind. They sky is the limit in my life today. It wasn't like that in my life with AL.

                              My favorite thing would be feeling great all of the time, feeling in control of my life, and not lieing or hiding or sneaking around all of the time....well I guess those are 5 of my favorite things.

                              I guess I just don't feel like a slave to the bottle anymore.
