Happy Monday!
Checking in hangover free on the last day of a week long work trip. I saved between $300-$500 I think in not having alcohol. I call that a win on many levels!
MAKE it an awesome day my friends!!

I was coming here to say that I was glad she got admitted and was taken care of.
OH MY GOD!!! I am so very sorry friend. This is shocking and I canāt even imagine what you are going through! Sending you hugs and love and comfort. Drinking will most definitely not fix anything ā connection is what is needed. Please do not stay alone. :people_huggging;
So very sorry for your loss!

@sadmemequeen How are you doing Megan?
@bookdragon Thank you so much. It hasnāt been all easy but it is definitely worth it. Look at you doing a sober vacation and coming up on 1 month 
@lisa_lou_who That would be triggering for me too. Hopefully you can talk with your husband. You may also wan to check out the following thread: Are you affected by a loved one whoās an addict?. Way to go on your sober time
@hidden Whoohoo! 2 weeks is awesome work 
The early sobriety does take a lot of āmeā time. I see this as self care rather than selfish. Try not to think about it being a long process as that can start to feel overwhelming. Just focus on today and what you can do to make it through. Great work so far! 
@lovelylisha YEAH to all your firsts! Many more to come ā keep up the great work!
@juli1 Sending hugs friend
@just_laura That is awesome that your boss is actually helping out and starting to understand the ins/ outs of the job. Hope this continues as your busy season starts up.
@Mno Hope they did show up with your new stove and you are closer to getting your perfect kitchen
@kellykelly I love that saying! Nicely done on your 3 years ā look forward to celebrating with you tomorrow 
You will get there ā donāt focus too much on it as it will drive you nuts. Just keep putting in the work and stacking up the days. Hopefully the other stress is getting easier to handle too

LOL ā NOT ANYMORE! I love it and sorry that she used that line against you. Great comeback Have a wonderfully positive day!
@blankspot987 Sending good luck your way ā hope all goes well today!
Checking in on Monday morning
Been a off start. Got to the bank to realize they donāt open till 9. Then went for a quick haircut with a style i had a pic of and she chopped off too much - may take a bit of getting used to. Heading to the pool as the pain is a bit intense and I need some relief.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Yes! Thatās exactly how it feels! Iāve had a few sleepless nights where I got maybe 2 hours, and somehow felt great all day 
(not every time, but like I said, gotta dial it in 
) But when I sleep 8+ hoursā¦blah.
I know why the 8 hour thing came about. To conform with modern society. An unnatural schedule we have no choice but to follow. Waking up before the sun, changing the clocks, being exposed to bright light all hours of the day. Itās no wonder our circadian rhythms are so out of whack and sleep is an eternal quest. My current schedule has forced me closer to the old one you mention. Sleeping 5ish hours at night, waking for breakfast and usually errands, then another couple hours before work if Iām lucky. Which Iām not half the time. Either way, itās all easier without alcohol in the mix 
I also wanted to say I love seeing your progress. Youāre doing this right, man 
Seems we are both fortunate to be in a sobriety supportive work environment. My GM is almost 30 years sober and always gives our type a chance. Itās let me meet and hear the stories of alot of good people. So grateful for that in my life Exercise is a powerful tool in sobriety, so goodluck at the gym today

Thanks Laura
That makes sense about the eight hour sleeping patterns and why they are the way they are. I know for sure Iām going to stick to at least five or six hours and no more than that.
And thanks for the positive words it definitely does feel good as far as the progress and to be honest I learned a lot from this community and everybody on here. Just took a couple years to actually listen to the advice and suggestions
It definitely feels good to work in an environment that is Supportive of my recovery. Iāve actually had a few coworkers come to me and ask about how Iām staying sober most of them donāt want to do AA but it doesnāt mean I wonāt try to help them if they want to help them selves.
Just got back from my hour session with my trainer. It was a really good experience even though I was pretty nervous. Iām going to meet with him every Monday for one hour for now. But eventually might do a couple days a week till I understand how to use all of the equipment and get a good workout plan together. I can definitely feel some muscles that have not been used in a long time or ever lol. About to go get something to eat and enjoy the rest of my day off.
