    What is the best part about deciding not to drink at all, period, anymore?

    I was thinking there have to be a lot of folks who can contribute and perhaps inspire with this thread?

    For me it has allowed me to stop thinking about drinking and do more interesting things with my time.

    For me the best part is never having to wonder if I can stop at one or two. You can't have the second if you don't have the first.
    Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
    Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
    Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

      Sounds good Cowboy.

      I also do not spend energy planning my drinking time; making time to drink and then making sure I have time to sober up, etc.

        Learning to actually deal with things instead of drinking over them. For me, being sober has shown me that I have the ability to handle anything that comes my way. I love knowing that I am 100% responsible for my thoughts and actions. I have found strength that I never knew I had.

          I highly value the FREEDOM!
          I was never happy being chained to a wine bottle. I am free & completely in charge of what I do or don't do. It is my choice

            Dealing with life is a big one Lav, thanks for bringing that up. And it is way easier dealing with problems when you are sober. Amazing, who would have known!
