Checking in Wednesday morning. Not a ton going on today. Working till about 3. Than I think I’m gonna fire the bike up and go for a ride to clear my head out. I been busy so really haven’t had time for a long ride, and the weather’s gonna change soon. Have a great day peeps.
@DryIn785 Good luck with your first day on the job.
@Miranda Congrats on your 40 days. Every day is a milestone.
@dani_x 3 days is great. Of Wednesday is a problem make sure you double down on what you’re gonna do to stay sober just for today. Keep busy, workout, try a meeting, even a zoom meeting. And than enjoy how good your gonna feel Thursday morning.
@AEGFletcher Congrats on your 50 days👍

What moldy things do you have in your apartment?
I thought the moldy things were in your car?
Boy does this sound like me lol. Not the specifics, but I always go from one thing to another often without processing whats affecting me. I call myself a shark because of my constant need for movement.
I have found meditation helps. Over the years ive gotten up to like 5 minute sessions lol. Its kinda sad, but its progress. I have used guided meditation before like apps, but i dont feel that tackles this problem well as its a relaxation tool. Instead i just set a timer, sit relaxed with a fairly straight spine and ground myself (often on breathing of course). Then just observe and make notes about what pops up, then let it float away. I find its a good tool for discovery.
Its like singling out specific tracks of a symphony…is that a fuckin obo i hear? Huh, never noticed an obo is shaping this piece, but hear it is, lost amongst the stronger sounds, but still a pressure helping lead the movement.
Sometimes its huge, most times i just notice that im in a crabby mood or am dewelling on work, tasks, ect. Either way i believe consciousness = greater freedom, bigger cage.
Wishing you equanimity in all things. Have a good day

Hey ya’ll
5 months 11 days sober. Feeling greatful and ready to take on the day. Worked thru my 6th step last night. I get a rush from completing each step and taking positive steps on my sober path. Still struggling with faith. I dont agree with any one religion but more like the universe and energies. Hoping to grow in my spirituality along this journey

Dont worry about tomorrow. Just focus on not drinking today. I tell myself this, and it does help.

15 days. Feeling good about it. Like others, my sleep pattern is rebooting. The uni is on fall break this week, so I’m making time to focus on myself among all the catching up.

Do you have a support group of peers in your new home town? Or do you working in a 12 step program or similar?
Maybe that could help you to stop white knuckling?

At first I had the same problem. I’d woke up between 2 - 3 pm and started working till I got tired enough to sleep some hours more.
Now my sleeping pattern is like before my addictive years.

Day 48- and my lord I’m tired. I’m sleeping just awful in this air bnb. The mattress is like a slab of concrete but at least it doesn’t have a dent in it. Lol. We have a tempurpedic. The softest one they make. It’s like sleeping on a cloud. Ironically my husband loves this mattress and has been sleeping great. He hates the cloud
