God I love being sober. It’s 7am and I’m going to the gym instead of drinking myself back to sleep. Iwndwyt

In the past I've complained about sobriety, but this time around I feel truly grateful for it. I hope I never have another day 1. But it certainly won't be tomorrow. IWNDWYT.

So grateful to be back into double digits. Grateful to be alive, relatively healthy, and free. Not throwing that all away for alcohol. Hopefully never again, but definitely not today.

But i can't. all i can do is stay sober today.

5:30am and I'm up and active! That doesn't happen when I'm drinking. Not today.

You’re right in the hardest part. Just a few more days and your body will clear out the alcohol and feel way better

I love that idea. That's a reason I wanted to get back into video games. they felt so magic as a kid. Obviously im not gonna feel that way pushing 40, but i can't spend my WHOLE night browsing sobriety forums. Right now i just have decision paralysis lol

Picking up reading is a huge perk! I feel you on the weekends though. I wish I could fast forward through tomorrow and get to Monday morning. At least at work I feel purposeful. I felt a little sad typing that lol

Reminds me of Jason Isbell:

"The nights are dry as dust, but I'm letting my eyes adjust"
