Day 28, despite having a hard time falling asleep, I am waking up feeling so good, I haven’t felt this happy in so long that it literally almost brought tears to my eyes this morning. I no longer wake up hating myself. I’ve never loved a Monday in my life, but today I do, I’m grateful for everything. I’m going to bed and praying not just for myself, but all of you as well. I’m finally accepting the things I can not change, and giving myself the courage to change the things I can. I hope you all have a awesome Monday. Oh and ps they need to give us more likes bc I keep running out of love to give :crazy_face:

Checking in. Last night the cat woke me up at 3am and I had a moment of thinking I was hungover: headache, probably because I didn’t have enough water. It’s amazing to remember how I used to normalize that feeling of feeling terrible when I woke up. I still have slight headache but not hangover and it’s a good day to stay sober.

165 Days. Been sick with a stomach virus past 2 days. Haven’t been out of bed. I just wanna sleep constantly. I hope I’m feeling better tonight for my favorite AA meeting. My husband and daughter both had this same virus. My daughter was good by end of day 2 but hubby took 3 full days but then again he always takes longer to recover. He works outside so he’ll use any excuse to take time off in the winter. Positive thing about being sick is that I haven’t even thought about a drink or a drug.

Plus, I got the perfect shirt!:

Have a strong day!!!

Day 42.38

Felt severe fatigue all weekend and this morning. I am sure it is related to pollen starting. The pattern when pollen hits is severe hunger followed by severe fatigue. I ate everything that wasn’t nailed down last week and this week very tired. Pollen does really weird things to my body!!!

My doc says it is the body trying to understand what to do with the instructions it is receiving. It gets confused and does weird stuff.

Everyone have a great day and a strong week!!!

Happy Sober Monday everyone! I’m on Day 35 and feeling pretty joyful. I did start researching places to eat in New York. I’ll be there for spring break and when you live in Wyoming, you get really psyched about food elsewhere. One restaurant’s website popped up with a gorgeous super sexy Thai Old Fashioned on the home page. It was like an electric brain zinging volt for me. Honestly, I felt like I’d been shocked with a weird ray gun. So I closed that website and started looking up museums instead. Much safer! Sending good thoughts to all.
