Hahaha seems almost petty to write this but I slept comfortably for 7 hours until a text message buzzing my phone roused me. I then laid there in the dark listening to my heartbeat, and remembered how it would be deafening and rapid and almost like an inescapable war drum of impending doom when I’d wake up from a bender- typically the most “sober” moment of my day, before drink or withdrawal kicked in. I am grateful for the comfort and calm I experience now! My heart rhythm is a reminder to me that I’m healthy and stable now- and will remain that way as I remain sober.
