Happy 41th birthday to me, my 3rd sober one 
! It’s a Monday so usual work and cooking dinner, not very exciting. My daughter drew me a lovely picture, so that made my day.

Day 69! Went up the mountain to chop down a tree today with my family. They were drinking (very small amounts) and I abstained. It’s a little tough turning down my DOC on days like today but I can’t just have a few beers and enjoy myself. I’m an alcoholic. So I got home and set up in front of the heater and I’m reminding myself how good it feels to have these little victories. Going to do some painting and get ready for a trip I’m taking later this week.
Thanks for staying sober with me today TS fam!!

Day 505 from Alcohol and nicotine,
I’ve been enjoying reading our posts here on TS, thanks to all for sharing!
I’m back at work with a new job driving van, 6 months now, grateful for just the right amount of stress at work.
Things are well for me at this time, lost all interest in intoxicants, and working on being just a normal healthy guy who has acceptance.
Congratulations to all the milestones reached today! Well done!

A shot of novacaine and the dentist’s drill striking close to your tooth’s nerve hurt a lot worse than brushing your teeth sir…

Evening Check In
Day 308
This evening has been hard. My husband has been irritable and cranky since i got home. Since i got hom at 4pm, ive done the dishes, got my son his supper feed, threw out garbage, did 2 loads of laundry, made supper, ate, and put my son to bed. All while trying to be supportive and calm and keep my cool towards my husband. Im definitly getting into the shower for some self care soon. Im beat and slightly annoyed. Anyway, other than that things are okay i guess. I need some sleep tho.
Hope everyone has a good evening

Day 3
Morning check-in I guess… It’s 5:45 right now, so almost morning anyway.
I slept from 2:20 until 2:40. That is all the sleep I’ve had tonight… I’ve tried reading, I’ve tried meditating, I’ve tried praying, but nope. Still awake. At this point I just want to get out of bed, but I know I will be tired for the entire day.
Fucking love withdrawal eh…
I think imma seriously get out of bed, work for a few hours, and then take an afternoon nap and maybe also an evening nap to make up for the lost sleep…
I do not like this one bit. Not one bit…

With sleeping tonnes one day and nothing the next, sounds like your rhythm is all out of whack. Just keep trying to get into routine and it will settle down eventually.

@Misokatsu Happy Birthday Flo!
@Nowenbrace Glad to see you posting again Owen. Happy for your progress and sober time.
@Crazy_Dutchie Try not to sleep too much during the day friend. Keeping a tidy day/night rhythm and all that. Good to see you here.

It is absolute shite right now 
But that’s what happens when you combine sleeping from 10:00-17:00 for over a week with withdrawal 
I will definitely focus on getting a healthy sleep routine. It’s been out of whack more than 8n of whack and I’ve experienced the benefits of the latter.
I’m thinking trying to sleep 23:00-8:00 is a good start as it’s a nice full 9 hours and theoretically this wouldn’t disturb a rem cycle, so very little grogginess. Though I will have to remember to get ready at 22:30 because otherwise I’ll still disturb a cycle…
But I’m really good at thinking, doing not so much, so time will tell if this actually will happen. But I will try for sure.
And happy birthday!!!
