Goodmorning from hot Massachusetts on day
406 no alcohol
337 no vape or ciggs 46 no form of nicotine
6 no form of marijuanna
Yesterday i was on outside working on grocery carts for 6 long hours in the hot sun from 7am to 3pm. The grocery kart guy called out. I was proud i did it without asking someone else to take my place for the entier workshift but i got a good sunburn and a bit dehydrated. I started crashing the second my replacement showed up
Today is day 6 no marijuanna. I sm SO THANKFUL to no be on day 1. I smoked actually 7days ago at around 8pm. I reset it to midnight tonight. My last 2 days off from work SUCKED because of the marijuanna, totally unrestful.
Iām here, Iām alive Iām sober and Iām happy.
Day 112.
Itās raining again, or maybe I should say that itās still raining.
We got two weeks of amazing weather in May right after the snow melted.
According to the weather forecasts for this summer, thatās it. The rest of the summer is going to be cold and Rainy just as last year. I really hope that theyāve got it wrong.
I canāt stand another year with no summer, barley no sun and a winter that last for a half eternity.
Still stans for what I said about emigrating if that happens.
In fact we do already have a plan about moving abroad,but not until the kids have finished school. It feels most fair that way.
Husband wants to go back āhomeā and have been wanting that for years. Iāve got no relation to Serbia where he is partly raised and since he got a bunch of friends over in Croatia thatās where weāre heading hopefully in a few years.
Weāre planning to spend a few months there for next summer. Iām currently trying to learn Croatian. I thought I had great language skills but Iām starting to doubt that now ![]()
Guess I could get around with Romani in a few places, but the benefits of learning Croatian and be able to communicate is bigger than relying on only Romani. Besides that gypsies arenāt really popular anywhere in Europe so it might be better to be āA Swede thatās trying to learn Croatianā than a gypsy.
Enough with that, Midsummer eve in Friday and Iāll be damned if it doesnāt rain that day, it always does ![]()
Wishing yāall a wonderful day no matter the weather ![]()
Hey Marie.
Some tips:
Do you get sunlight everyday? Do you keep a sleep schedule and lower all lights several hours before bed? Turn off phones and screens at least an hour before bed and take the magnesium then. Try ashwagandha supplement for the l theathine and trytophan.
Have a sleepy tea with the magnesium, create a ritual.
Make sure your bedroom is cool and dark. I use blackout blinds and a sleep mask, though my cats try to take both offā¦I also have an electronic mask that applies pressure and heat to my eyes and the surrounding bones and tissues. It has a soothing music or Bluetooth to send a podcast to whilst itās working.
Podcasts! Do you have an Alexa? We set an hours length listening slot for a podcast after we have finished reading or whatever and ready to settle down.
Another soothing listen is BBC 4 radio, though I canāt tell you how many times I have fallen asleep to the shipping forecast, imagining myself sailing around the UK coast line as the maritime readings are read out. At this point Iām also aware it starts at 12.50am so Iām a bit late, but itās soothing and makes me feel so cosy in the big picture.
Iāve heard at least three times this week that ferritin levels affect sleep⦠Maybe get your iron and ferritin tested? You might get restless legs if you have low levels. Also, gut health is popping itās head up into sleep studies⦠How is this for you? Can you improve your diet? Add in some probiotics?
Itās something Iām kind of obsessed with and listen to massive amounts of studies on.
Lastly, maybe try some parasympathetic techniques; try yoga, tai chi, breathwork, meditation and vagus nerve activation.
Good luck, I hope my suggestions are ok, I donāt mean to pry or be overly enthusiastic about this stuff, itās just an interest of mine. Iām really not a great sleeper, but Iām improving.
Thank you TF
. I really appreciate you taking the time to write about this. Iām thinking about what youāve listed and will see what I can add to my routine. I canāt make everything go away, but I can make it easier. More a bit later. Thank you, friend. This is painful stuff at times.
Day 87 As I continue to be active in NA and work the steps I am noticing changes in myself. Life is still life but the way i am dealing with it is whats changing. I definitely recommend the NA program for anyone struggling with their recovery. It has given me a fellowship that I needed. I no longer have to take this journey alone
I love Dom Dolla! That sounds like my kind of festival
I find the energy from that type of music makes me feel good by itself. I think it will be awesome experiencing it sober, and youāll remember it. I hope you have a great time!
day 618

AND I spent a week at my āhome usingā state and didnāt even think of looking for drugs!
