24 hours...didnt sleep. but i have A DAY


I rememebr people in AA when I went being SO THRILLED to be off of alcohol for JUST ONE DAY.  But, I wasn't an alcoholic, so i couldnt relate to their wonderment...
so...here I am; In wonder. (i have never been able to attend an NA meeting f2f yet...)
The second thing I remember about AA is they always reminded newcomers to try and ask whatever higher power they believed in to HELP THEM stay sober/clean...

well...if you;re trying to quit like me...I can give you my day 1 benefits already...
1- I feel good about trying and succeeding
2- I think praying worked...
3- My lungs don`t feel like an elephant is doing the waatoozie in them this morning

This is tough on my depression. I was on medication for 16 years, but, it caused me to live like a zombie..not great. So, i guess this was a day on NOTHING which is a first in almost 2 decades for me. wow...

ok...not getting cocky...I have ONE 24 hour...

lets see how today goes. But I wanted to write in case anyone out theer was rtying to stop and having trouble.  The chat room rarely has anyone, so reading a post might be helpful. 
For me, I just LET MYSELF have a clean day...instead of fighting with my urges, I just HAD THEM...I hjave urges all the time! I dont always act on them...so, this was the same.

It feels ok this morning.  Didn;t sleep last night (all things in time)...so today will take very good care of myself, read some lit and stories and pray.

peace
Josee
