Checking in at 26.28 days. New meds might be making me excessively tired, not sure. I’ll give it a little time. I’m still waking up a lot during the night, but the good news is that I didn’t wake up before my alarm the past two days, yay! I feel like I could sleep all day though, so not me. Happy sober/taco Tuesday folks

Checking in sober, Day 168 (24 weeks!!) Was asked to chair a zoom AA meeting yesterday. During my qualification/backstory I shared about my last slip and how it happened when things were going really well and I felt “cured”. Then it dawned on me how things right now are going well and coincidentally I’ve been having more frequent random thoughts about drinking. Was a wake up call to be more vigilant and not let my guard down! “We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.” I need to step up my maintenance! Stay strong, friends!! Addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful!

Day 745* alcohol free
Well, the AA meeting last night didn’t happen. Got there and there was nobody there, door locked. Very small place so I wonder how they fit any sort of number of people in there. Maybe that’s why they weren’t going on, too small of a space to accommodate social distancing? Who knows.
I know there are plenty of virtual AA meetings, but I really want something in-person. It’s just different.
Anyhow, I found another one that seems a bit more organized and per their website is back to in-person meetings. They have 3 per day at their clubhouse, about 10 mins from me. The times aren’t the best for my schedule, but I am going to try Thursday mornings before work and Sunday mornings. That way I have TS zoom meetings Tuesdays/Saturdays, and formal AA meetings Sunday/Thursday. This is all under the assumption that this meeting works for me, and if I end up getting from it whatever it is that I’m seeking. So we will see. AA might still not be for me, but I am willing to give it a shot here. This is all about connection and trying to find direction with an open mind.
I also had a yoga youtube channel recommended to me, after wanting to try yoga/saying I would for a long time. Her channel looks great, and there are videos of different lengths depending on how much time you have, and also yoga that targets stretching/helping certain areas of the body if you want…which is great for me, since I am interested in lower back/hips/hamstrings. It also incorporates some mindfulness and spirituality, so I like that aspect as well since I’ve been trying to get into that. Going to try one tonight.

Day 286. Logging in from work this morning. Back to being bored here and wishing they would have let us keep working from home. We all had to be back in the office June 1. So here I sit. Thankful I’m sober and for this forum. I really like being able to read everyone’s journeys here. It’s inspiring and motivating. I’m proud of all of you hitting milestone, running towards goals and anyone who is just taking it one day at a time. Keep going friends!!
