Checking in daily to maintain focus #38

I have the same thing, but little later around 7 pm almost every day after dinner. For me this is a sign that I am just tired and its time do nothing at all anymore. I tell myself… ‘‘it was a busy day, you did well staying sober and know I am just tired… its ok being tired, I go to bed soon and tomorrow you feel reborn again’’
And yes this means sometimes I am really early in bed… but it works for me. Sleeping is healing :wink:

Don’t let those feelings overwhelm you, and don’t pay to much attention to it.
Hope you slept well and feeling better today :pray:

Day 35! Where did those 5 days go? I’m truly grateful for every single day that has passed. I’ve really only had one day that triggered thoughts that turned into feelings that made me think the whole drink through. In the end I didn’t pick up the poison. It was on my daughter’s birthday, celebrating of course is a huge excuse to party! I used to plan my kid’s birthdays around my drinking like which hotel has a bar within walking distance, does the establishment to hold the party sell alcohol… ect. Thinking back I was soo selfish. It was all about me instead of them. I’m truly grateful that for today I’m going to decide not to pick up that first one and be conscious of the fact that I don’t have to worry about forever! Just for today!

I think that the fact u are here means u aren’t quite “ready to go”. You want connection. I am sure u are tired, but as I am sure u know, being truly tired of ur own shit can be the starting point of recovery.

Hey Dan, maybe there’s a part of you that isn’t ok with that… you’ve come onto the forum as @Misokatsu says to find connection. You have a strong fighting spirit that may feel tired and broken right now but it IS still flickering. While it is there, there is still hope and a chance and opportunity to give it another go. Addiction is shit, a soul crushing cycle but you can come through to the other side - do not give up!

@Cjp Congrats on 30 Days, that’s awesome!!!

Day 76

Re-Started my weight loss journey, did a hard workout, and woke up pretty tired but otherwise, all good. I’m going to be slow and steady with my weightloss, 2 to 3 lbs a week. The Goal: By the time i hit 365 days sober (11/17/22) I want to be also 60 lbs down. Consistency, that’s the goal in this. Take that energy i put into getting Sober and put it in the weight loss. One day at a time. Have a wonderful day everyone!

If you would prefer online meetings with Zoom, message me privately. Have got the details for an all women AA group.

At any given time they have over a hundred attendees. It runs 24/7, they have guest speakers etc… They love newcomers and you don’t have to share, you can just listen xx

Day 539

While on the site today, doing my best to give support and advice, the little I can, I was struck by how I am not following my own bloody advice in areas of my life that are not drinking. Sometimes things are easy to say, hard to do. And when negative consequences are as blindingly obvious as with alcohol, the motivation is there, but when the consequences are more insiduous, it is easy to let it slide.

Ahhh @Misokatsu I’m so guilty of this also Fleur. With friends I seem great with giving advice but rarely think of giving it to myself (and following though on it!):woman_facepalming:

Hey everyone. Day 3 here. Still feel fatigued and tired. Just feels like I can’t get enough sleep right now. Makes the days tough, but I know it is for the better. Looking forward to another sober day!

I can only second what has been written above. Parts of you don’t want to give up yet.

When I was still drinking my mantra was: I don’t want to live anymore. I drank to not feel at all.

Now, this changed for most of the time: I don’t want to live like this anymore. I need to feel to change things.

You may want to add some sober meetings to the mix. When you get moved it’ll help you make new friends, have a support network and feel safer with maintaining your sobriety. You can do this!!!
