Amen to that Charlie…Safety first…spending money on something that matters.

And it is an early Tuesday morning in December for this schoolteacher. Yay for getting past Monday. Sober Monday mornings are better than hungover Monday mornings, but they are still part of Monday. Somehow getting back in the workweek by Tuesday isn’t so bad.
Teaching in December is an entire extra layer of challenge. If you have friends who work in schools, send them peaceful thoughts and extra patience! I’ve worked in public schools for 35 years and December is my hardest time.
I am feeling better than past Decembers and that is because I’m living free from the constant navigation and manipulation of the relationship with the bottle. I broke that off and I’m doing great!
Checking in here daily and writing about this journey is part of my morning routine. I wish you all a day of peace. I wish myself a day of kind patience with the youngsters.

Still feel like crap, but a sober crap.
I hope for a brighter future. I hang on sobriety as I can’t seem to hang on anything else but my two daughters. Anyway. Have a good day, people

Day 27 today. What’s tough right now is the anxiety keeping me from sleeping, having panic attacks that keep me from falling asleep, so that’s no fun. It’s Crazy, i try to go to sleep, i get that crazy feel that jolts me awake, like everytime! I try to take magnesium before going to be but lately that’s not helping. My kids are babies and there sleeping schedule is weird. Getting 4 hours of sleep while overcoming anxiety/my addiction. But hey, ONWARD! A positive attitude doesn’t come about by chance, it takes effort and a vigorous approach

Good Morning @SelfLove_42 I’m Des. Way to go on your 27 days I’m 2 days behind you…I know about the lack of sleeping and anixety…had it for the first two weeks. Feeling a bit better Magnesium/Calm powder helps me as well as sleeping with a weighted blanket. I love it. I helps a lot with anxiety and restlessness. Also find grace your babies are younger I have 3…16, 14 and 9. Keep up the good work. One day at a time.,

I’m glad you’re going for lunch. Being social (not “more” social, because I’m not at all) is something I need to work on. It began as believing I had nothing to offer… that stems from and was deeply ingrained in me during my first marriage. I bounced back after that, but only for a short time. I know I need that connection, and as I watch you grow, it inspires me.

Will do! My babies are 1 and almost 3. It’s been rough the last few weeks, but specifically my body is really struggling trying to fall asleep at night. What’s crazy is i have the ability any other time (cause i’m so sleep deprived) to fall asleep in seconds. At lunch i am knocked out for 45 minutes, instantly falling asleep. I’ll have to talk to my wife about a weighted blanket! Appreciate the advice!

Felt saddened earlier. Decided that the only way is to keep moving forward. I’m still in the tunnel, but if I keep going, I will eventually make it out
Typed up some thoughts and feelings just to get them out of my head
Listened to part of an Alan Watts lecture
Since I am taking it easy today, I am going to try to sleep to keep my stress levels down, then when i wake up, lift some weights again
Thought about composing some new music, but the inspiration hasn’t struck yet. Really want to make a song about getting clean…haven’t really decided how it should sound or what instruments to use yet. Still thinking it over in my head 
Feeling better about the direction I am going in. I’m actually starting to feel more uplifted and remembering what it was like before I took pills that don’t benefit me.

Checking in Day 132 actually got up at a fairly decent time today! Enjoying the sun shining through the windows.
Got a lot of apartment-cleaning work to do today as well my 8-year-old is with me all day tomorrow gotta get things ready for him.
A little bummed because Covid is rising here and some cities have already started limiting gatherings to 5 people = no in-person meetings. Ah well, Zoom NA is good too.
Love and sobriety,
Kat
