Great job GG,

Never forget HALT.
Hungry

Tired

Many thanks to Ben and Jerry who saved my sobriety so many times in the early months.

I justified the second one by assuring myself that it was made from coconuts, not milk... Whatever works, right!?! HA!

Better ice cream than wine! My go-to in early recovery was dark chocolate.

I find myself getting up in the middle of the night hungry......usually I eat a yogurt but last night I had a chicken breast sandwich.......I must have been especially hungry.........it's almost like I'm sleep walking.......then went right back to bed ......went right back to sleep.

Ha! Chicken sandwich sounds awesome!! Last time I quit I would get up and eat Parmigiana Reggiano in the middle of the night, then I would sleep like a baby ! Interestingly enough later on down the line I found out the Brits did a study on English cheese and dreams, so I swept my Reggiano out for Lestcheshire! Sorry to all Brits if misspelled!
