Yes William I'm grateful and blessed just riding the wave and taking one day at a time blocking and staying away from negative people and negative energy...

I work nightshift but it is nights like tonight all I want is a drink as soon as I get off. I know I can’t / shouldn’t, but I also know it is going to be hard trying to ignore the craving or even fall asleep today once I am finally off and home alone.

Had an OK weekend, but need to be up early for work and battling insomnia right now. Can’t get my brain to turn off.

I have those nights sometimes. Idk your religious beliefs but I have a prayer I pray every night and sometimes I'll pray it more than once:
Father, thank You for this day. Please slow my mind, my heart,and my breathing so that I can rest to take on tomorrow. Amen

Thanks. I have a nightly prayer and meditation routine and I’ll add that one. Sometimes it just doesn’t work. If I’m not going down in a little while I’ll start praying the rosary.

@hannah295867 The more you hang around here and start working the steps those cravings will dissipate over time.
I'm very proud of you for making it to a meeting. I'm looking forward to seeing you grow in this program.

Good evening my Loosid famBAMMily.
This entire weekend was phenomenal. When you're willing to put forth the effort to do step work with your sponsor and then turn around and do the same step work with your sponsees and few newcomers across the USA and in the UK. It makes for a pretty awesome weekend. Honestly it feels good to give it away.
