A Miracle Sober Day

March 9, 2026

I went to Sunday mass in the morning. I decided to avoid drinking for the whole day. It was completely unusual for me. In the evening, just before 5 pm, I started dinner. I had tomato soup instead of liquor. The dinner was finished quickly. I went to bed around 7 pm. I read books about reducing alcohol consumption for three hours, but I did not feel sleepy. I turned off the light around 10:30 pm, but I could not fall asleep for more than two hours. During that time, I invented a way to reduce the amount of alcohol. I wrote the scheme on my laptop. I did not know how hard it is to sleep without being drunk. In the end, I fell asleep after midnight, and I woke up several times. I got out of bed just after 5:30 am. Even so, my physical condition was good. I did not feel a shortage of sleep, and my chronic headache was gone.
