My motivation to keep sober is I have come to really cherish lucid contact with love ones and (new) friends. Also, I see daily reminders of those who drink and behaviors I just don't want to be part of my spirit any longer - just the bewilderment and puffiness of drinking..........
I have new sleep patterns at this point. I fall asleep as opposed to pass out and wake up as opposed to regain consciousness. Early on, my brain raced as I tried to sleep. I find it needs focus - reading helped give me something to concentrate on while I became drowsy. Read my old posts, that will put you to sleep as well............
A 10 minute run on the thread mill - or some other energy burning activity helped me as well.
Thanks for the post!
Keep suiting up and showing up
