Desk bound boredom again :slightly_smiling_face:, still the people are pleasant and it brings in the readies.

Started the day off well with a nice dog walk. Will wear my professional hat until 6pm and then I can do the fun things again.

Happy sober 24 everyone

It’s 3:15 a.m. and I can’t sleep so I’ve been reading on here. Tomorrow morning I will be giving notice on my job, so I know that’s part of the reason I can’t sleep. I’m sure my boss will be surprised. It’s a good job and it’s kind of crazy I’m leaving it. Well, that’s the way things worked out. This other company will be a good opportunity and with nice people. More pay also. I hope everyone has a good day today. :pink_heart:

@Madds thanks love. Hope you have a much better day at work today :hugs:
@Danwood85 whoohoo :partying_face: double digits :tada:. Hope you are able to rest up today. I know how hard it is to function in little sleep. Wow…you are really procrastinating a lot of thoughts. In addiction we can just coast through life ( not really living but existing). Think that’s why we can just keep going with our toxic relationships and routines. Glad you are finding a way to be kinder to yourself and get out of that toxic cycle :people_hugging:. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I appreciate em. :folded_hands:t4:

Sending energy your way. Hope you start feeling lighter and less tired soon. I absolutely hate having to go through the ba machines trying to get to a human. Hope you get. Call back soon and get this issue resolved :folded_hands:t4:
@Dustysprungfield great to see you Dave. How are you doing?
@Kareness hope all goes smoothly for you today. :hugs:

Checking in on Monday morning
Very tired but not sleepy. Had a crap night of sleep but that’s my normal it seems so I’m adjusting.
It’s been super humid since last night. Tried to turn the AC on but I got a really weird strong food type smell. Was to tired to investigate and couldn’t keep smelling it as it was making my head pound even more. Thank goodness for fans :blush:. Luckily smell is gone and AC is on this morning.
Plans for today.. swimming, PT and work

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day
.
Sending you all so much love :heart::heart:

171 AF, 11 THC

Goddammit, I took AGAIN a long nap, this time 5hrs. I’m feeling so guilty about it, because I’m wasting so much of my day. I gotta stop sleeping so much, this is getting ridiculous. But other than that, I’m feeling ok, I guess. My plans for the rest of the day is going for a walk and reading a book. I wish you all a great and sober 24!

I so get this @JazzyS. My sons used to say I have a nose like a bloodhound because odd smells will send me over the edge! :joy:

Sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well. I hope tonight will be much more restful. :pink_heart:

We are in California waters with service!

Im feeling extremely burnt out on this boat this morning. The people more than anything. They don’t pick up after themselves. They won’t do a dish or take out the garbage. Old school complains non stop and is toxic. His kid is lazy and always in the way. Cap is a moody a hole and im tired of just taking it.

At least the ocean is drop dead gorgeous today.

Hopefully we get them.

Im not hungover for the win! :flexed_biceps:

I realize it’s still early in quitting THC but maybe it would be helpful to see a doc about the excessive sleeping? I can sense your frustration and at the very least they might be able to offer some timelines for when you could expect to feel better. I am on Day 14 of quitting weed and I did experience mood swings the first week but not the excessive sleep you write about. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the recommendation, but I just think I’m lazy and my sleeping pattern is messed up, because I’m getting sleep around 3 AM and when I wake up, I’m tired as hell. I should just survive one day without sleep and then go to bed early. But I’m lazy and I love to sleep, haha!

Sending strength my friend. It all sounds frustrating to deal with in such a confined space to boot. Grateful for the waters to help calm. Hope the day gets better

Day 2 check in.

I only joined the forum yesterday but already it’s paying dividends as I had urges yesterday evening but instead of doing the “activity” I read some stuff on here and replied to some people.

I was going to go for a run this evening but decided I will do it tomorrow instead. I couldn’t really be bothered and it makes no difference whether I do it today or tomorrow.

Don’t worry it’s not my discipline sliding, I’ve done this a lot over the last few weeks where I’ve just changed the schedule around a bit. An extra days rest can sometimes help.

I’ve recently got back into running after a few years of not doing it. I’m at the start of week 5 and at the moment I’m doing 3 runs a week.

I really enjoy it as after a run I always feel better and clearer in my mind.

I wish I could bottle up that feeling exercise gives you because it would be nice to feel that way all the time :sweat_smile:

Anyway that’s enough rambling, one day at a time guys, let’s do it :saluting_face:
