Home having some lunch then heading over to my neighbors to replace her hot water heater. Sheās in her 80ās and is the sweetest thing! Does a lot of cooking and always shares some with me. Not much else planned for later so maybe just some clean up around the house. Have a good day people

Checking in day 117 AF 
I have been on my first little holiday break this year and it has been so wonderful to be sober. I have had some alcohol free drinks and enjoyed them.
I really thought Iād struggle as going away has always been an excuse it get drunk the entire time. Xx

Iāve battled with sleep problems most of my life. From not sleeping at all for a couple days to a few hours a night. Tried different meds and supplements with no good results so for me itās just normal shit now. Hopefully yours will get better in time and itās just a normal process as your body is adjusting to sobriety. I know from others for some it took some months for it to get back to normal. Hoping it improves soon for you.

Thank you. Really helps to be heard and understood. I too have had sleep issues for some time. And yeah, early sobriety. I like to think Iām past it but not yet. Iām sorry you deal with this too. Seems like a lot of us do. Appreciate the support! Iām just getting through the day without a drink which is a win, sleep or not 
. Have a great afternoon

Day #1 away from everything including my DOC
Day #5? away from nicotine
Holy heck, that one relapse where I drank with coworkers and ended up using my DOC really became basically a week-long bender. I kept trying to get away from it after that initial day, but my DOC kept pulling me in closer every time I used it and now Iām back at the beginning again. I really had to put my foot down to stop the relapse. Literally having such a crappy withdrawal right now. I have no energy to do anything but lay in bed all day but I am going to force myself to take care of myself and do things.
I written out a todo list for today, since I know having a routine helps me stay on track with sobriety. Iām going to check in here every day again and in the daily gratitude thread. Iām gonna drag my exhausted, withdrawing ass to at least one CA meeting and one SMART Recovery meeting every day. I will attempt to workout today and clean my room despite how ungodly drained I feel right now.

Day 981 AF. Still struggling with the anger. Been told by even the hospital to get legal representation. I donāt want money or anything, med bills are all taken care of, the only thing I want is impossible for them to give me and that to hold my little girl. I donāt think dragging this through court would help the healing process for myself or my wife. Just taking it meal to meal for now. Hope Iām everyone is doing well and stay safe.

Sounds like a good plan for your day.
I donāt know if you already do this, but on the days where I feel exhausted and donāt feel like doing anything on my to do list, I keep a seperate list of things I actually got done. I start with something small - making bed is always the first step, then move to something like putting laundry away or doing dishes, and build on it. Itās really the only way for me to keep momentum seeing things done on a list versus just - small number crossed off on a to-do list that is overwhelmingly long.

Itās been a strange day; rainy, slow and a bit meh.
My football team bombed out 2-0 to Barcelona in the first 40,000 attendance we have had for them. Frustrating two hours.
Managed to fix the fuse box in the car so the radio works again 
Then fixed the catās water fountain so that works again.
Feel a bit bored but I think the feeling is actually disappointment. Early to bed and a cup of tea in order!
Happy 24 all

Day 39
Spent the day at A&E.
Suspected urine infection and Dr sent antibiotics.
Turns out this morning I had an allergic reaction and happened to get the rare side effects and had to go to hospital to find out I didnāt even have a urine infection so never even needed the antibiotics 
In bed sober

When I went through some stuff alongside staying sober and I couldnāt sleep for days sometimes. I literally had to wear my self out like a baby. Swimming and walking and spin classes. So Iād come home and had literally worn myself out. That helped me get back into a routine. It also helped my mental health and I felt good.
Not getting enough sleep for me makes the next day terrible and then the mental health stuff pokes its head up. The cat will meow and I jump out my skin.
It will get better, I wish soon for you

Thank you Twizzlers. Yes itās all the other stuff going on in addition to getting sober. Itās a lot to process for an early sobriety brain. I will have to wear myself out completely if I have trouble tonight. I know it wonāt last but when youāre in it it sux.
I appreciate you! May everyone sleep well tonight
