I don't wake up with a hangover every morning
I am not reeking of AL and trying to avoid people while attending meetings
I have not missed a meeting because I was to hungover to go
I am able to get up and go in the morning without waiting to feel better
I am not hiding from my kids when I come home so they can not see me drunk
I am able to go out "for A beer or two" and actually come home having just a beer or two
I CAN have a good time without drinking
I no longer have pains in my sides from drinking
I remembered what I said last night and every night!
I actually sleep and not pass out
I no longer have a walking problem when leaving lunch or dinner at my local pub
People understand me when I am talking - even late at night
I NO LONGER DRIVE DRUNK
I do not come home and go straight for the beer frig - even though there is actually beer in the frig now!
I realize that my wife drinks a lot of wine - never realized it before because I drank so much more than her
I have much, much, much, smaller bar bills
I have not had a Bloody Mary, or other "hair of the dog" type drinks to get my AL level back up in a long time

I am sure I have forgotten some of the things that I should be grateful for so feel free to add to the list

That has to feel SO much better. Congrats on some astounding progress and on giving up your membership to the Relapse Club! The Sinclair Method looks good on you, my man!

Reboot - this really brought a smile to my face - way to go !!

Hugs, Maggie x

Reboot,

I am glad to hear that you are no longer driving drunk for that did concern all of us!

The rest of your list is an awesome accomplishment!

Keep it up, for we know it works,

I wanted to add how thankful I am that I can deal with not having alcohol in the house! I don't know how many times I forgot how much I drank and think I would be good for the night only to have to go out to get more....drunk of course.
