Day 5

Feeling better.
Felt some sadness/nostalgia when weekend got closer. But I just tried to relax and set the alarm for 7 minutes. A few minutes later the feeling disappeared...

Yoda, yes, it is amazing how feelings pass..... One of the skills I have had to practice in order to stay sober is learning how to sit with uncomfortable feelings. I used to have to immediately numb myself with booze. That, of course, made things much worse after about 5 minutes.

Glad you are hanging in there!
