Sorry Laura.
I haven’t been around on this thread much today. I hope after 13 hours and being with the TS Kooks you are feeling better and struggling less. And no you are not going to drink. You’re ex doesn’t have control over a strong wonderful woman like you. I cannot imagine what you’re going though. I hope coming on here and airing it out helps give you the relief you need. Stay strong. You’re so worth it. And you’re stronger than ever now.
897 days alcohol free. Happy humpday
Day 369
Sleeping schedule is bad has been for months. If I include active using days my sleep schedule has almost always been terrible. I have been trying to just roll with it. I have managed to be fairly productive and successful but need to take a more proactive approach to fixing it.
So far today I’ve said my prayers did my daily readings and gratitude. Went for a walk with a housemate for excersise and to grab some food. Sent and received some e-mails from my parents and sisters.
Read some stuff on here and I’m still catching up on that. Messaged another of my housemates about making a weekly plan to do our chores have a meal and socialize together, friendships take work too. Played a game of cribbage with yet another housemate. There is me and six others living here.
Had a meeting with the supportive housing facilitator on tuesday. It was necessary but really stressful. There was about ten of us out of thirty that attended. We have been told that to keep coming in to volunteer, get support or counselling we have to get covid tested weekly. (Should have already been happening.) We also were told no more visiting other houses or attending twelve step meetings or work if we want to be in their bubble. I have been helping keep an in person meeting going so that is unsettling but I’m dealing with it. I reached out to a friend today that is going to take the keys and keep it going as best he can. They gave us a choice to stay between home and Wayside or not come in. I talked to my counsellor and he reminded me that I commited to them and I reminded him yes for the months of July & Aug. 2020. The reality is I can still go to the NA meetings at Wayside twice a week as a member of their house “bubble”. I can get counselling and have some free meals (that I prepare) so it really isn’t much of a choice for me. We have been told there’s no showing up and to make a schedule and stick to it. Some of these are great because I have been struggling to get other guys to actually show up and help. I now have three committed days a week Tues. Thurs. and Sat. where I will go make dinner then stay for game night or a twelve step group.
Anyone who has been following my posts may have read that I had lots to talk about.
There’s even more but I’m still tired. One of my housemates just came in. This may be a new record long post for me.
To all the people with milestones a big congratulations. God bless you all. &
P.s. you deserve a great big hug and happiness. Ya you!!
Wow man that’s a record for you, as far as post length
You had already hit your year recently if I’m correct, which is pretty awesome,
Likewise I struggle with sleep, now I’m off schedule its worse, I’ve tried the multiple methods outlined and medication to no avail.
I dont know enough like if you work a job or anything to get insight on ways to wear down but when I was off work. I was too wound to sleep it was frustrating i wish you the best man
Thanks Chris . It’s the getting asleep that’s sometimes an issue.

I finally get off self quarantine tomorrow! Yayyyyy! One of my employees had it, and now his whole house has it, so I told him to leave his funk at home!
So… Tomorrow and Friday I’m balls to the wall with client meetings, tours, and classes. I’m excited to be back at the office. Now let’s hope I can fall asleep at a decent hour
Day 116. Max is home, thankfully. Everything else is exhausting and sad and weird today. I’m just struggling a bit. I know this will pass, these thoughts and feelings always do. But at the moment, it’s all I can do to put one foot in front of the other, keep doing what I can each day, and most of all, keep working on my sobriety. For tonight, I’m going to walk Max one more time, start the dishwasher, and go to sleep.
Good night, y’all soberians! (@apes2020, in my mind, I keep thinking this should be “sobrarians” like librarians, but I’m starting to get the hang of it!)
Checking in day 61!
It’s a good day and time to reflect on how I’ve been doing over the last 60 days. There’s definitely been some struggles and some near impossible trips past that liquor store. There have also been some really great days. Days of joy over not waking up hungover. Days of gratitude for the new clarity that I now have. Days of newfound motivation and liking myself. I know 60 days is still early and just the beginning of the hard work I’ll have to keep doing… but I am awfully darn proud of those days.
Hate to hear you’re hurting so much. Much love to you. Praying for you.
You are truly an inspiration with how much work you put into sobriety each day!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I’m sorry the virus is adding so much stress and complication to your meetings, etc. but keep up all the hard work We’re lucky to have you here on TS
Ok, so you need to turn it around and make it a positive. Try to be grateful to him for helping you to stay sober - because being sober is great.
