I mostly spent the night in meditation. I even tried the 4 count breathing exercise.

Going through medication withdrawal makes it harder. I've been dependent on a sleep aid for many years, my brain doesn't seem to know what to do without one.
I’m sorry to hear that. Lauren Fenton has great meditation for sleep as well as other different meditation.

Dear Diary today will be different today I can smile it will be genuine because today is the day I get to live.

This life will be good and beautiful, but not without heartbreak.

In death come peace. But pain is the cost of living.

Like love, it's how we know we're alive.

And life goes on.
