Some days I just can't wait to go to sleep

When I'm having a rough day or evening, I look at my watch and think, great, in just two hours I can go to sleep and not have to think about drinking. It seems to go in phases. I know eventually it'll get a lot easier, but it's my way of dealing with it for now. Thanks for letting me vent.
