I've been told that sober mornings are one of the best parts of sobriety. I have to say I 100% agree with this sentiment.
There is nothing better than getting 9 hours of solid sleep and feeling fully rested (before 10AM). 3 days ago in my hungover state it was all I could do just to get out of bed to lie in front of the TV and eat a greasy breakfast. Today I woke up feeling energized, motivated, and ready to seize the day. After eating a healthy breakfast, I cleaned my room and am now getting ready to go on a nice long run. These are things that are barely possible to do while hungover. And if they are attempted, it feels like a real, painful struggle. Today's sober morning is a breath of fresh air, like the feeling you get when you walk outside and feel the cool autumn breeze on your skin after days stuck inside. It is a very different way of living, one that I intend to start intimately exploring. Sober evenings on the other hand are another story....but we'll save that rant for another post. Today I just want to spend time savoring the beauty of sober mornings and the joy of feeling sunlight on your face while sipping a delicious cup of joe.
