Wow: I am unrecognizable in my health! I feel good, not drowsy and dizzy and stone ever. It is a great change! Drinking black tea instead of coffee is a new thing too, given that we received three teapots for Noel and loose teas from my sister. The tea is very tasty. 

Today I am clear minded, calm and joyfully happy. Sobriety is a must for me. Every day, like this morning for example, I listen to a video by Mingyur Rinpoche: I enjoy him very very much. I am following his guidance for learning to meditate daily again. It is not a burden at all: it is a wonderful practice I am finding out. 

I still smoke a lot of cigarettes but a bit less today, thankfully. I think it is the rested night of sleep and tea instead of coffee and sobriety that helps me smoke a bit less cigarettes. I dont know if I will ever quit smokes. One thing at a time...
