Alba diary 22.

End of day 1 today after going crazy the last month or so.

​​​​​​One of my favourite drunken things to do is pass out at the computer, drown the keyboard and mouse and wake up only when I fall off/ break the computer seat.

It might be a night of chronic insomnia but there will be no beer bottles to add to my recycling mountain of glass.

Phone's going off now.

Same time tomorrow.

Have you thought about what you might do differently this time?

Day 2 complete. Actually managed to sleep between 3am-9am yesterday which was far better than expected, although horrendous dreams about being attacked at knife point repeatedly. So calmer dreams tonight and a decent sleep please!

Longlasting sobriety plans involve around exercising in the evenings (bought a dog, gym memberships) and posting a wee ditty on here, not working too hard and starting work nearer lunchtime everyday to take pressure off my sleep.

Same time tomorrow.

Filling in time is a great tool, but I think any good recovery plan also has to deal with the difficulties of what to do when you really want a drink?

Great job on five days Alba!

How is your recovery plan going? That’s what keeps the days adding up in the long term
