I used to sleep. The insomnia felt unbearable. I have to look into ways of helping myself with sleep. It didn’t overly help either.
Day 1. Yikes, feels terrible. That is why I’m here, to re work those sober muscles.

Yesterday was weird, I had a sore throat and swollen glands most the day. I took some Night Nurse and got nearly 8.5 hours sleep, despite blue being a total dick at 3am and walking all over me for “cuddles” 
.
I Feel better today, wont is my way, to get colds and sickness for like one or two random days then feel absolutely fine. Bizarre. But yesterday was a little depressing, I’m not a good sick person at all, I start getting like a bear with a sore head. Today I got up and suggested a bit of a trot out. It was nice and now I’m mentally ok again as well as feel physically far better.
Lots of football today 
we got some interesting bits from the farmer’s market and I had a great time hanging out at the Jamaican sauce stall trying everything they had. Absolutely spot on spicing! 
Jerk Ackee ranch
Curry no goat sauce
Carolina reaper and guava.
All mine and I’m so excited to cook with them.

@Scorpn Hey, I wanna send you a hug first off! 
Thankyou for opening up to us…! This relationship sounds much more toxic and serious than I think you realize… It’s domestic abuse! You don’t deserve that, nor should you have to endure it, we’re here for you ey, and just know that there are always alternatives and help

Day 994
Morning everyone! The time change here really threw me for a loop this morning. Thought i was running late for work. Thankfully this wasnt the case.
My client is away on a home visit so i had time this morning to tune in to an online sermon thru Elevation Church. Havent done that in many months. Really enjoyed it!! Started my day off on the right foot 
Just have to get thru work now, go home and do laundry, give my son a bath, and then relax. Tmrw is a new week (Mondays are my fav day of the week) and im looking forward to making some changes with regards to my health and spiritual wellbeing.
Have a great day everyone!

Day 679.
Always feel so stupid saying how I feel, normally keep it to myself.
Past few weeks I just feel like I need to cry but I keep holding it back.

I cry lots. While in the past I almost never did. It’s sort of a staple of my recovery/discovery. And I’m happy to say how I feel, especially when it goes beyond just describing the anxiety that overruled all other feelings for years and years. For me (re)connecting with my feelings is a huge part of living my life without mind altering substances. Hugs to you.

Yesterday had some tough and saddening moments to deal with but with love and support from others, I was able to bear through it, cry it out, pray, and remain sober. ODAAT

213 days sober
I was looking forward to our normal Sunday morning group today but unfortunately it had to be canceled. I was feeling bummed about it but then ended up with a lot of free time. Did some shopping at the bazaar and cooked a nice dinner.
I had my friend over for dinner and I told her I’ve been sleeping very badly and that I wake up so anxious I can’t get to sleep. And in the day my focus is a bit bad. It was good to talk to her and just share what’s been on my mind and be honest about what’s been bothering me. I’m so used to keeping these things, these thoughts internalized where they are hidden and I’m ‘protected’. It feels good to have a friend who trust to share these things with and know it’s safe. I feel more free to tell my fears, problems and anxieties to someone than before when I’d keep them hidden like a shameful thing.

I did my consulting work yesterday but not for as long as I had planned. I ran into a snag, a problem with the foundation that was built, and I can’t sign off on this work that my client has been doing in his backyard without a permit. Not a great feeling but a blessing in disguise, I got out for a walk yesterday and had some downtime.
Really thinking a lot about how things can go either way on Tuesday and each scenario is so different for our country. I’m little nervous, I guess, that our election is only 2 days away. I will be glad when it is all over!
I’m going to my women’s meeting in the park today and meeting with my sponsee this afternoon. then grocery shopping to have enough in our fridge to start the week off. I also have to clean the fish tank which is starting to turn green, lol.
Have a great sober day everyone.

I feel the same in a lot of ways. It’s very difficult and things feel very same-y and like I’m just passing time a bit aimlessly. Drinking didn’t help with that but maybe it masked it and now maybe we are having to confront these things in our lives. I think I also need to make a plan. I’m sure you will get there but it will take time . Youre doing really well, keep those sober days coming & hopefully it gets easier!
