No. There are a lot of factors in play like having PTSD and also my cat now having access to the bedroom at night. Because of her health problems I want to be available in case something happens but I have a pretty bad case of hyper awareness so that makes it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep with her in the room.
I slept better when I was using but life was not better, you know? My sleep is improving slowly overall but I take otc sleep stuff and some stuff from the doctor that’s supposed to help with nightmares and anxiety. It is helpful sometimes but sometimes not and my tired mind goes places I want to avoid. Being sleep deprived is one of those triggers for me.

Yep, it took a while for me to disassociate some music from drinking. I used to love drinking and listening to music. I felt I connected to it more tipsy. But then would get hammered and couldn’t remember what I listened to. I really felt a sense of achievement when I could listen to certain songs sober.

Yep, I understand completely. I envy the humans that can fall asleep anywhere in a blink of an eye.

Hell yeah, good for you for the way you handled your coworkers. Dumb bitches, sorry, but seriously. I wish I worked with you, we could have so much fun with that.
I am so sorry about your mom. Just battling sobriety alone with that is incredulous, let alone everything else on your plate. That’s the real freaking deal. Thank goodness you’re sober as time is so precious. This is so inspirational!
I’m sending you a ginormous virtual hug lady

I’m just done with everything. I shouldn’t of came to work today, I’m crying in the fucking bathrooms, my stupid co worker won’t shut the fuck up about stupid idk even know what she talks about. I’m sick of lifting with this guy bc I wanna do shit my way, and it always has to be his way. I wanted to deadlifts my way this morning he keeps telling me I’m doing it wrong my but needs to be lower. Well according to the video watched my way was fucking right and now after doing what he told me my fuckin back hurts more. Im just done with everything and y’all don’t need to listen to me bitch everyday either.

Grateful. 
Grateful for the support I receive here. Grateful for the Recovery Dharma program. Grateful for the help I receive from my therapist. Grateful for the support of my family.
I used to think it showed weakness for me to accept help. Now I’m seeing that it takes strength to request and receive help in the areas that I’m weak in. I just want to be able to offer the same to others someday.

Take it easy on yourself

It’s ok to bitch here everyday, we are here to listen. If you bitch, you vent, you communicate - it is the way you can remain on the surface. If you withhold it and go silence, it’s dangerous. Don’t isolate yourself, because that can be the first step on a slope.
You’re having a bad day. Try to survive it, and on the evening you can plan, what to change if change is necessary. You can change the guy you’re working out with, you can figure out, how to approach your workmate, etc.
But do bitch, we’re here to listen.
