Thanks folks for your support.
I actually slept ok. Probably had to do with being up from 6:30 am and staying up until 1:00. And I did use the meditation technique each time I awoke. I woke up a lot, and normally, my mind starts going and I can't fall back asleep. But with how I thought about my thoughts, I was able to quiet them down and sleep again. Strange, but maybe I was just tired enough to sleep and it didn't have to do with that at all. Even if it's in my mind, if it works, who cares.
Resolve was a good word to use for me. I believe that I will miss drinking, because I could always function, work (still have my sign business), etc... so sometimes when I'm sober and look back, it doesn't seem so bad. But when I'm drinking, I know I'm running at 75% or less and want to be sober.
What a nutty thing
Thanks again!!
