Day 2. I could manage to get to sleep again. It is so much easier to get up in the morning not feeling intoxicated from the previous night. Grateful for being sober today. Thanks @JazzyS for always talking to me. Lots of love to you

When I am troubled by thoughts in the night, I use the Serenity Prayer as a mantra to ease my mind and get back to sleep. I can match up the words to my breath and focus, which puts me radically in the moment. And in the moment, everything is alright.

This is the best way to attack sobriety … keep working with your tools and remember that you are not alone.
