Checking in day 192! I didnāt sleep great last night- had gone out for trivia and spent time with a friend. Taking it easy today, and have a concert tonight with friends (one is sober too which helps!) Iām glad to be doing social things, but Iām an introvert and need to take some time after to recharge as well. Balance seems to be key.
I have a work conference Thursday and Friday, and itās just me and my manager attending those days. Itās a pretty fancy affair (Iām not fancy haha just wiggled onto the invite list) and these kind of things give me anxiety. Just trying to go in with an open mind and trying to just be comfortable in my skin during.
Anyway, today should be good for me! I hope you all have a wonderful sober Wednesday

Even though we all have our own stories and come from different walks of life, we have one experience in common. Believing no one else could tell. 
Congratulations @FeelingBetter for two weeks, and @Amy30 for two months!
Happy Birthday, @Rockstar24777 
!!! I hope you can find something to do today.
Always wanted to do an escape room. Are they as cool as Iāve heard? BTW, you need to see the movie āNo Escapeā (not the one with Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnan, the other one) if you like horror and escape rooms.
Day 8
Got a good nightās sleep. At least, as well as one can when going to bed at 3am. I really need to get my sleep on some kind of schedule. Not really anything to report at this hour. Just wanted to stick my head in the door and say good morning. Iāll be back later if something happens. Good morning!

I wanted so badly to give up everything last night. I was super depressed and didnāt want to deal with anything. I kept snapping at my son and it made me feel so badā¦i am afraid heās going to end up like me because of me. He already deals with anxiety an depression and i blame myself for all of it. Iām on meds and they do work but some days is just too much. Today Iām doing much better after crying myself to sleep. The sun is shining and itās warmer than yesterday. Thatās a huge help

Sometimes you just have to feel it, and cry it out. I hope you will feel lighter soon.

Checking in, day 3!
Tired today, and a bit dizzy. Sleep was ok, woke up only twice. Think the tiredness is more hormonal than withdrawal, or a combination.
I faced a conversation I was postponing to have and was source of one of the wake ups. Felt good to adress it. Like a grownup. And it helped. Also two new and fun assignments came in while I was meditating. One already finished today, and they were very happy I could deliver so fast. I liked working on it, too.
Like @rsvf I am kind of glad I am so tired. In this state I canāt ask much of myself. Easier to relax, in some way.
Wishing everyone a good day/night, wherever you are.

I spent a lot of time apologizing to my wife in early recovery. Somedays it seem liked the only meaningful words out of my mouth to her were āIām sorry.ā But I just kept apologizing. When I couldnāt take āit.ā Anymore Iād get in the shower. A really long, hot, late afternoon shower and cry it out. I would be drained after that and so relaxed. It really helped me a lot. Then cook a nice meal and use my new found energy to clean house.
Youāre doing great

Day 5 - 6th sober evening
- free from alcohol
- being aware of toxic relationships
- regular eating without drama
Hi,
I will quote my other trackers too.
I restated them with every relaps, as it all comes and goes together. And if itās just thinking about getting back in touch with toxic ex persons in my life. Eating is always dramatic on.off shit if I am drinking. So I will state these 2 other things again.
Still giving myself āno online shopping challengesāā¦ Had to break them for a few books and a new hand blender / food processor. Timer is ticking since 9 days again. Will need some new clothes soon for spring/summer and atm the cosmetic bag for swimming is breaking down.
I am doing fine, already safe at home, will have a short mini yoga sequence now and cook some thai curry afterwards.
Much love

Day 36 today. Crazy busy day so this is my first check in on the site.
I see a common theme of tiredness and I am as well. Trying to keep track of my energy levels and temperament to gauge my reactions and thought process.
More time here helps all of that.

Hi sober friends, day 23 here and feeling very optimistic. I was reading how blood sugar levels can be an issue for the newly sober and wonder if thatās contributing to my tiredness and digestive issues. Going on a grocery store run this afternoon to pick up some healthy snacks with protein & good fats and going to make sure I snack every few hours. Will help with cravings too! I am grateful to be reading all of your stories and wishing each of you a peaceful and sober Wednesday
