I made my second meeting!!!

I love narcotics anonymous! Day nine has been a trial. I'm still waking up at 5:30 am like clockwork. I can't lay in bed so I get up. I'm becoming ok with that, but mentally it is a lot of alone time. My children get up between 7:30 and 8. I let my husband sleep in when he is off so he is usually up around 9 or so. I challenge myself everyday to not be sad, keep moving, but today I definitely needed my meeting. I was connected with a woman today that is going to reach out to some other women and get me started in the program. I only listened again, but it was refreshing to be around people like me. I met a man with 22 years clean!!!! Can you believe it? And you know what he said to me? I asked him how? He said I just decided not to use today. Amazing. I know my hardest time is in the evening, when I am ready to go to bed and my body won't let me. So I will post again tonight to clear my head a little bit. Thank you all for supporting me on my ninth clean day!
