Goodnight to everyone else, here in Germany it’s almost midnight so time to hit the sack.

Checking in on day 10 sober.
Feeling constantly tired but no cravings at all so that’s good.
I have a job interview today which I’m really excited about. I’m all prepared, it’s a zoom one so I can have my cheat sheet out, haha! Just wish I didn’t feel so tired.
Is it normal to feel wiped for a while during early stages of sobriety. I’ve been at day 10 before (a few times) but can’t seem to remember…
Have a good day everyone :heart::roller_skate:

Thanks so much, Eric! Yes, I think 2 months is a great time to make some new habits. I appreciate you looking things up for me and suggesting the thread as well. I’m going for just a couple minutes this evening, maybe up to 5 but let’s not get crazy… :laughing: Like exercise I want to just make the habit and begin…

Thanks!

Day 60/61

I had a really good day. Fatigue hit me this evening but I’m getting there. I hope to have normal energy soon but not there yet. Really happy to be where I am, kinda half a person :laughing:. It’s so much better than drinking. I bought myself a slice of cake to celebrate my halfishness tomorrow.

I have a new box of chamomile tea. Got the house stocked. So glad to be 2 months away from the madness

Thank you :heart::heart::heart:

Checking out on Day 116 AF

Holy sweet love of… 8 hours assembling that gym multi trainer. What an insane amount of parts, pieces, tidly bits and head scratching.

Getting into bed at 9:30 which is an ungodly hour for a fella that begins his beauty routine around 7:30pm… woo boy am I ever tired, but so looking forward to jamming out in the gym tomorrow!! Sound system cranking, and just diving into a completely new routine (that I haven’t quite concocted as of yet).

It was a great day and I’m looking forward to a new chapter tomorrow in this amazing race I’m in.

Till then, get your rest, keep up on your protein, and pamper yourselves with indulgent pleasure.
:pray::heart::peace_symbol:

Checking in. Ooooo how i am so happy to be sober :slight_smile:

Feeling much better to be at work and thibk the sinus infection is lifting. Job makes me so happy; so after hubby gets himself situated with his work over the summer Im gping to look into next steps for me. Do i go for it and get the ECE certification? Im not sure its worth it tbh, but Im loving being in the daycare setting so much and am slowly injecting what i have to offer. Its definitly a very challenging field that is underappreciated and my goal is to make the staffs life easier, in whatever ways I can, while getting to be around some lovely little humans all day. I just love it. So so so very grateful for it right now and just hope I can find a way to make the job work financially.

Kids have been great last two days. Feels like in our home we are starting to find our stride again where set backs abd hard days dont take the wind out of us. That is what trauma and grief can do… they take so much out of you that your tank is so low. Its nice to start feeling like ourselves again as individuals, as a coupke and as a household.

I wrote my letter to CPS and now i have to write 2 letters to the Ministries who oversee them, invluding the ombudsmans office to advocate my nephews case. Its ALL one step at a time, and when i focus on that I feel less overwhelmed and panicked. What has been really eye opening to me is how the professional workds that deal with CPS, no one - not a lawyr, doctors, police officer - no one I have spoken to, has had one nice word to say about them and infacr it is all the opposite. Keep pushing. Keep hope. Yhats what i can do today. Xo.

Stay sane my friends. Its a wild ride this life, but we just get one. Xo.

Hi everyone! Just thought id do a quick checkin before getting ready for the night. Its been another tiring day but i managed thru my 5th overnight shift in a row. Have 1 more tonight… just ONE more to do and then i get 2 nights to sleep. I cant wait.

Today i mainly relaxed. Did dishes and did laundry too. Still have to get the clothes from the dryer but i will fold it all tmrw. Just putting my son to bed soon and then will shower n get ready for tonight. I feel like a zombie at this point. I feel like i want to cry honestly… but im just too tired to do it. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope u all are having a great Tuesday!
