9 Days and gifts
What a difference 9 days makes. Tonight I'm listing the gifts I feel grateful for today.
1. Sleep! I'm sleeping so well and sound. While I need more sleep than ever because I suspect my body is trying to repair itself, my sleep is restful. No more passing out and then waking up in sweats at three AM only to realize that I won't be able to fall back to sleep for hours. I remember feeling very close to sleep but then I would jolt awake. Horrible feeling.
2. NO hangovers! I can wake up each day with no concern about how bad the hangover will be. No need to Google "hangover cures" or find new ways to undo my damage.
3. Memories! I can remember everything from last night and this night and everything in between! Woot! No wondering if I said or did something terrible.
4. My daughter has me present for her in mind and body. I can look her in the eye and feel completely engaged with her and her world.
I'm so grateful! Yes, each day gets easier but I'm staying vigilant and strong becuase I'm determined to stay sober and the truth is I still miss my wine. But it's a thing of the past. Kind of like how I'll never ride a roller coaster again because it causes vertigo. I got off the wine roller coaster!
