My new night time go to drink. Calming instead of stimulating. 6 more hours and I’ll be at day 4. I noticed I’m not putting my daughter to bed early anymore but instead sitting up with her and talking until 8:30. It’s nice and calming where as a few days ago there was always a push to get her to bed so I could have a glass of wine. Slowly but surely I’m seeing the positive side of things and the changes.

Prayers to you and yours as well. I like my black tea with honey but I noticed I’m starting to explore other flavors. I’ve made it a nightly routine to sit, watch a little TV and have my tea before bed. It kind of sets me up and calms me down enough to catch a good night’s sleep.

@Krystalbetts Yes!! I have been exploring the teas as well and I’m excited to drink them lol… it’s silly but I have a coffee cup I NEVER used it came from Panama City Beach and it has a little spoon that goes with it… I have been using that cup and it is just a great feeling to sit and drink the tea… so calming and a new thing I’ve never done which also excites me…

Lol. Last night I had my tea and my daughter had her hot cocoa and we watched a movie, talked and bonded for a while. I’m noticing how she wants to do everything mommy does. I can see us going out for tea or coffee in the future when she’s older. She’s 5 now. Being sober has helped us bond over the past week and I’m loving it. Not to mention the tea bags do wonders for your eyes if you let them sit there for a bit. And the overall health benefits of tea in general are positive.

Recently I realized I had become a “tea-at-night” guy and was super excited about it.
