10 Reasons Why Being Sober Today Is Better than Not Being Sober Today

Here are my ten reasons – just for today – they change every day although there is a common theme – feel free to comment with your own.

1. No surprise tales of what I did – I know exactly what I did – every moment

2. I don’t have a headache or upset stomach

3. I did not embarrass myself or my family or friends

4.  I slept like a baby, not like a drugged rhino

5. I did my job and I did it well

6. I don’t have to wonder why everyone is pissed at me

7. I played with the dog – I didn’t have such a headache that I wanted the dog to just sleep

8. I talked to people on the phone and had meaningful conversations: and I remembered them

9. I drove a car and I didn’t have to wonder if I was okay to drive. I knew I was.

10. I didn’t pick up a new grudge, fight with anyone, or generally act like a petulant (drunk) child
