Tomorrow will be the longest I have been sober since I started drinking when I was 17. I feel and think great. I barely think about drinking, but I also have been avoiding situations where I’ll be tempted.
Reasons why I have quit drinking and love being sober:
1. No more hangovers.
2. Thinking clearly about decisions about my life (career, friends, relationships)
3. Weight loss (because I’m never too hungover to work out or too drunk to forget my diet)
4. Positive thinking that isn’t muddled by alcohol
5. Feeling confident in myself and learning to love myself
6. Proving that I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it.
7. Knowing that I won’t spend a fortune on cab fare ever again
8. Waking up and knowing what I did the night before
9. Not worrying about being mean to friends due to no filter from alcohol
10. Not buying a box of wine every other day and being “known” at CVS
11. My skin is clearing up
12. I have never felt so positive about my future, despite how scary and uncertain it is
13. No drunk texting. NO DRUNK TEXTING.
14. Not having to buy drugs in a sketchy parking lot and potentially risking my life
15. No more random bruises accumulating on my body
And probably more. I feel good. I can keep this going, I don’t even think about drinking, and that is a great feeling.
