Thanks for that. Sleep has been an issue for me for many years but it has intensified the past month. Iām hoping it will smooth out after some time. Having a friend around helps. Iām fortunate to have a lot of people around who support me. Hope that your day gets better

Youāre welcome if you do come. We have a huge garden,a trampoline, birds nest swing,bikes, a creek on the backside and a lot of other thing to wear them out before bedtime 
Iād probably have more kids if my husband have wanted it. After your youngest one he said he was to old for another. And with his current health in mind he was absolutely right. (He is older than me and is currently in his 50s)
Iāve always done the same with my kids. They got to choose. I want to give them the choice I never had.
But Iāll give you a tip to make it a bit easier. Limit the choices and take the fight when there is no option.
For example non optional things that you donāt get to choose is brushing your teeth,shower och het dressed in clothes appropriate for the weather.
Situations where you could limit the choice (small children usually have some difficulties with to many options anyway)
Would be like the breakfast situation. Instead of going āWhat do you want?ā And make three different ones you could go āToday weāre serving sandwiches for breakfast,would you like cheese or Marmelade on yours?ā
And next day the options might be cereals oat puffs or cornflakes. You get the point.
That way everyone still get to choose but it gets a little easier.

Great post. Glad youāre settled in and found a meeting. Weāre with you too.
I feel you on projects! I set the bar too high sometimes. Work again becomes more important than recovery, at times. Thatās when I want to pick up. It canāt be.
I have a summer ahead that is full of challenging situations, but a chance to really be solid in my recovery by the time I hit my 6 months in the fall. It could be like looking down the barrel of a gun, or once again enjoying all of life sober and free. I definitely want option 2. We can get through all of this sober. Together. And share pictures of our projects and trips. Hang in there friend, Lots of love and support

Ahhh im feeling lost without my saturday morning gym session. I got my right shoulderblade tattooed yesterday and they suggested i wait to exercise for the next week to limit stretching the tattoo while its healing.
Ill do some running later today and hopefully that gives me my fix

This sounds good 
I did just order the clear wood protector for the catio furniture I have built. It will come tomorrow by 1pm.
So I can brush that on the wood and let it dry tomorrow.
A small goal 
One I can accomplish and also helps me feel I am doing something towards the project.
This is what was pushing me to think I want a drink.
Feeling alot better now.
Thank you

Hey, checking in Day 13. Another busy day today clearing a garden with my friend. Hacking bushes and chopping treesā¦ feeling a little drained and sad. I had 2 or 3 good days but feels like Iām in another dark cloud today. I know it wonāt last. Itās 3.30 and I have no idea what Iām doing for the rest of today. I understand itās probably going to be like this for a while but it sucks when it is.
Iām going to try and motivate myself to go for a walk or sauna. Drinking is not an option.
Thanks @acromouse. Sorry your feeling a bit foggy today. Iām glad you have a plan to sort it out.
Thanks @JazzyS glad you enjoyed your meal with your brother.
Tomorrow is another day for me, no work commitments. Iām spending the day outdoors with my family and no hangover.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend allā„ļø

Morning TS! Last nights overnight shift was rough 
my poor little guy kept getting up complaining of stomach pain. I held him and cuddled him until he managed to fall back asleep. But this mama didnt get much rest. But here i am, at workā¦ a 1/4 of the way done. Its been a quiet day so far. Ive been sitting here planning my sons bday and getting cake/cupcake inspiration for my sons bday treats. Not much else going on right now. Just want to get thru work and get home to my family. Have a great saturday everyone!
