I heard on the news last week that “fentanyl was in everything” right now and lots of people were overdosing. I wanted to do a public service announcement on this site to get the word out. … If it helped one person…
I need to search it and find an article. I’m so sorry about all your friends. Thanks for listening to me. Keep yourself clean of your DOC’s … your buddies would want you to. We do. Your family.

My sleeping problems flared up really bad in the last 2 weeks. Not quite sure what the actual starting point for it was but I’m trying to put a stop to it.
I don’t feel like talking to people. I don’t wanna do anything or be anything. I just wanna hide.
Taking a few days off from my job try out. Really need to reassess this thing. I guess I’m failing it 
(Disclaimer: I’ve read many self help leaflets, I have meds, I know sleep hygiene recommendations by heart and sleep apnea has been ruled out. Just for the record 
)

Thank you! 
I’m so sorry you’re having so much pain. Crying is good to let the grief out and relieve your soul but can cause a horrible sinus headache. A cup of hot Earl Grey tea with lemon and honey helps me. May you feel the love and positivity of this community wrap you in a warm comforting embrace.

In my lifetime of having a hard time sleeping I have a lot of times just said ok I’m going to try to rest. That takes off the stress of trying to fall asleep, which can be non-ending anxiety. Try telling yourself you’re just going to rest. You’re going to close your eyes and be peaceful. Take sleep out of the equation. The relaxation and the rest will be good for your body and hopefully the rest and relaxation will actually help you fall asleep.

having a good day. Weekend was too short as always, but I got my Wifi installed today, so I can have real internet! Yay! I can do all those things I said I was going to do when I got Internet.
I can’t remember what those were now.

Afternoon checkin
So far today has been good. I supported a family member very, very close to me through their 2nd last IV chemo treatment this morning. I havent spoken to you all about this part of my life since being on TS. But the emotional pain I feel gets pretty intense. I don’t want to say that specific reason is a reason why I used to used but bcuz it’s strong emotion I feel… that in itself is a cause for me wanting to numb. Anyway, he was diagnosed with a rare brainstem tumor 3 years ago. He has undergone 2 years of chemotherapy so far and has other medical conditions that relate to his tumor. So today I am grateful that I am able to be present and to be a support for him. No matter what I’m feeling. I can get thru it, so that he has the support he needs.
I did some cleaning today also but ate pretty crappy. Which I hate. Cuz now I don’t feel too well. Have had a few small urges to use. Nothing major. But overall the day has been okay. Looking forward to baking a cute custom cake for a 5 year old on Friday. So getting my ingredients list ready to go. Nothing else new

Checking in 49 days sober. This week will be rough at work. That although that’s a trigger, I am thankful that I don’t have to deal with hangovers on top of stress.
Sending so much love and praying for @ShesGotMoxie.
You are one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have encountered and I am so sorry you are suffering.
Going to put on fuzzy socks and going to cuddle in bed. 5AM wake up time tomorrow. Thank you TS for being here
