Weekends are the hardest for me so there is a lingering cloud over all Fridays especially. Today was no different. Despite what feels like a suffocating longing for belonging there was room for gratitude.

Weekends are my favourite times to be sober. I like feeling the Friday night vibes but not having to participate and then waking up sober on a Saturday and doing fun things because I am not deathly hungover….the best.
That’s great perspective. It’s hard to beat waking up on a Saturday feeling normal while everyone else is nursing a hangover. I wouldn’t trade it. Definitely feels like I am trading my nights for my mornings in sobriety which I prefer.
Circadian rhythms in tune with the moon and the sun✨a gift of sobriety.
