Milestone

Morning: 6hrs sleep, extremely vivid dreams with recall, not too groggy, functioning quickly, mood 5. Day: everything done by 16:51, mood picked up to 6 by afternoon. Nothing exciting. A quiet, stable day. The pattern after alcohol cessation was 3 days up, 1 down. Now it appears to be 4 days up, 1 down. The staircase continues. A self-improvement creator subscribed and commented: 'The instinct to calm a natural dopamine spike with a joint isn't addiction reasserting itself — it's the old system reaching for its only known brake pedal.' The map is being learned.
