I was hit with Insomnia last night. I tried from 20:30 to fall asleep, Iād been awake since 4:15am, but I didnāt end up falling asleep until nearly 3am this morning, then I didnāt wake up until 11am, so I missed half of this beautiful sunny day to break up the dull and rainy days here. Nevermind, Iām okay, just a little disorientated. I had a really bad nightmare so I was glad when I woke up. Iāve had a migraine all day so thatās not been great, but itās not as bad now.
I have managed to read 33% of a new book though, and Iāve not long finished my āmorningā routine, (itās 7pm). So Iām pleased with that.
Now Iāve caught up here, and I am probably going to read some more, or look at some memes here, since Iām so far behind!
I hope youāre all having wonderful sober weekends.

Day 54. I donāt know if Iām depressed or something physical but Iāve been very tired. I also have pain throughout my frame is the best way to describe it that has been going on about 18 months. Iāve seen doctors, had 1 or 2 tests, tried meds and physical therapy and it has gotten better (or Iāve become used to it). I really wish I knew what it was. I donāt know whether to keep active as Iāve been doing or rest and hopefully heal. I can still do pretty much everything and once I get started I am ok. Itās the before and after that is painful. I would love to see an integrative specialist but am confident my insurance would not cover it. I know this from experience although sometimes it depends on who handles your claim or who you speak to. Iām working on cutting down my excessive sugar consumption and hoping that might help. Hopefully whatever it is, it will go away with time. Itās almost noon here and I am still in bed. Itās a nice day out and I owe it to myself to get up, get moving and get outside. I have nothing planned today but I have a few things in mind that I can do. Thanks for listening. . Wishing all a sober healthy day.

Checking in. Had some big mood changes throughout the day, but itās better now. Iām really grateful for my buddy being here but it definitely effects my routine and makes me feel unbalanced, so I try to ground myself as much as I can.

Day 65 alcohol free. I still have no desire to drink, I havenāt dreamed of using. I havenāt had a mental relapse. Iām believing the medicine prescribed āNaltrexoneā is working in my favor!
Never thought I would be in the space Iām in now.

And what a wonderful space to be it is.

Day 58 alcohol & nicotine free.
I havenāt checked in here for a few days, havenāt listened to any sober podcasts, havenāt checked out sober tiktok, havenāt read any quit-lit, havenāt done any exercise. I also cancelled my therapist.
Nothing bad going on, Iāve just been busy & getting on with a few things.
However, I had built up a nice little morning routine & my shifts at work were changed & it kind of messed the routine up. I need to get that back starting tomorrow. The routine just made me feel like I was on a better track.
As for my therapist, I only had 4 sessions, I was unsure of him in the sense that I didnāt know if I felt 100% comfortable opening up & on our last session he said some unprofessional things. Iām currently searching for a new therapist.
Tomorrow is a new day & Iām going to get up early & just straight into my routine

Atta girl April!!
I feel like Iām doing it all ass backwards. I got my 4 years now. And I started going to meetings a couple of months before that. I like the speaker meeting I found on Friday nights around here. And I go to my Al-Anon sponsors Thursday night AA meeting. Heās a double winner like me. I wasnāt sure Iād fit in 
Iāve gotten a little nugget and can relate to lots of people sharing there. And Iām learning some good stuff.
Keep up the great work!
Congrats on 5 complete days

831 days sober today.
Havent been on here in a while.
Its nice to see familar check names and all the new brothers and sisterās in recovery.
Life still happens and I dont have to drink or drug over it.
Thankful for my life today.
My father passed away in June and I had the honor of holding his hand as he moved along dimensions. My sobriety was a gift then just as it is now.
I thank God I got to be present for that.
Im still working on reconciling more time with my children.
My ex didnt work on his resentments. I continue to work on my character defects but that doesnāt mean he had to.
There are days where I wish I had that magic wand to force others to work a program ans quit being assholes but I can only control me and pray for others.
Thankful for my work. I get to help others in the depths of their addiction, homelessness and street life. Its much trauma obsorbtion and such an honor.
God is loving and good and I am undeserving. Grateful yet undeserving.
Today I am ok with me. I can enter the rooms without judgement.
Today, I am comfortable being alone and having selfcare days.
Today, I get to be proud of my present because of my past.
Grateful to be alive, sober and sane today.
God bless.

Thatās my check in: Older and still sober without any major desire to drink that shtoof.
My friends took me to an Ethiopian Restaurant I introduced them to. Still no non-tiny tastes. I do appreciate that I have that tiny one and that my mouth is still set on fire with spices I canāt taste. Whoop!
