When I got sober poor sleep was my worst enemy. Keep up the good work! Hope you get that nap in!

Checking in today. I’m very grateful.
My concussion symptoms are clearing up. My alcoholic mind wants me to live in fear about the future about the long term. My head just feels different. And not okay. But it’s okay. That’s my meditation for the week. I’m not okay and it’s okay.
I have this sinus respiratory thing (not COVID tested confirmed) that’s going around work. It’s been a long week health wise. Which makes me very grateful for the program. I love that I can go through this stuff without even thinking about getting high or drinking.
The book talks about around page 85ish that the obsession to drink/use gets removed from us. It’s a trip because there was definitely a time when I’d have been at the doctors trying to get all kinds of party favors for the concussion/fall I had. And now I’m even like mad I’m having to miss work. Who knew some suicidal kid would get sober and clean and up being a semi responsible adultkid with a real job lol. I love recovery.

Day 8
Woke up at 6:30 am to head to the clinic at 7, but they don’t actually open til 8! The lady gave me the hours for a city an hour and a half away 
oopsie! So I’m sitting home with my cat while I wait. Glad I’m not tempted to have a screwdriver with breakfast, had unsweet tea instead 
8 I’ll go to the sobriety clinic for meds! It should be a long appointment, up to 4 hours. Wish me luck!

Hello Kat here checking in Day 231
Another day at work but will hit the gym after. Had a great NA meeting at my homegroup last night and I had the bravery to volunteer to hand out keytags. My shares are also getting better as my confidence grows.
Life is great and looking for a new 3-bedroom place that can fit all 4 of my kids for their weekend visits the 2-bed is just not big enough. All of this blessings of sobriety.
I wish each and every one of you a clean 24 hrs and enjoy your days!

Day 37
Feeling fine today (but as my old therapist used to say, “fine isn’t a feeling” lol), so I guess today I am feeling content? Not too sure what I’m feeling today to be honest. I had more weird dreams last night, not using dreams of anything but still very odd ones. Hubby is home for today as he is super uncomfortable but tmrw he will return to work. He barely slept last night. I guess today will consist of meditation and prayer. Taking care of a few errands and cleaning. I guess that’s it. Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Day 602
Was definitely feeling an up the past few days but woke up really irritable and down this morning. Too many thoughts in my brain getting overwhelming right now.
My mum tends to communicate in ways that are very cryptic and get manipulative fast so went to sleep talking to my sister about that which always throws me off. Had some really weird dreams last night and didn’t want to get out of bed this morning.
Idk trying to snap out of it. Need to make more coffee and meditate. Probably going to clean up the house plants and get more seeds going in the greenhouse x playing in the dirt always helps when I get in a funk so here’s hoping it does the trick.

Saw this and really like it! I use the serenity prayer but didn’t know there was a flow chart!
I will definitly need to be using this today. I get really frustrated with my friend. I realize she’s busy, as am I. But I’m starting to feel this friendship become pretty one sided. She never used to be like this. She is super busy (I understand that, I really do), but it’s annoying when we will “talk” (as in I send her a msg asking how she is doing today, she responds when she can and asks me how I am doing, I respond and then I don’t hear from her for 1-2 days). Sometimes it has even been during times when I’m not feeling well (like when I increased my med that one day due to drs orders and I was not well mentally at all…she will just disappear, snd text me the next day or 2 saying she was worried about me, and asking how am I doing now?) Yet when something is going on for her, I’m all for helping her and supporting her. Maybe I need to back off a bit or have a very open talk about this. But I don’t want to come across as “weird” for feeling this way and I certainly don’t want to make her feel bad. Idk… it’s not like I have much experience with real clean and sober friendships I guess. Maybe I’m making a big deal out of it. My hubby thinks it’s very one sided. Maybe I’m just too available (so it can come across as if this is one sided). Maybe my expectations are too high and since this friendship isn’t what I’m expecting, I’m getting disappointed. Idk. Any thots?
