Sounds like a plan! Look after yourself. Getting out of your own head can be tough. I try to think of others, read, watch TV, eat something nice.

Saturday morning here. I will have Christmas sorted by the end of the day.
Iām also having a difficult time with my mum. She gets very sensitive because of her bi polar, and sometimes she thinks I donāt want to see her. Trying to mend imaginary broken bridges.

615am Saturday morning! Loved catching up on @MrCade 's holiday and all the pyramid chatter, which made me laugh.
Going to go pick up an AA pal and we will go to our 715am meeting - I only dropped her off 10 hours ago following our Friday night meeting 
Sometimes all this feels a little comical, but Iām so glad not to be going through it alone and I love how we LAUGH loads.
I always felt like I struggled connecting with people in the way I wanted to when drinking. I am the kind of person that likes to be intense and deep with people. Sobriety seems to have brought me that gift in a way that is authentic, rather than fleeting and forgotten.

Wow I missed the thread last night!
I was asleep by 8 PM (early, even for me), and slept until 7 AMā¦very, very late for me! I am usually up and active between 4 and 5. Guess I needed some sleep!
Anyhowā¦5 days off work now. Need it, love it. Heres to the start of another sober weekend

I am the exact same way. I feel like Iām putting people out of their way or making waves if I ask a question, need something to be changed, etcā¦even if its something Iām paying for, like work being done to the house or when I was at physical therapy and didnāt like something. I just donāt like making a fuss.

Work for the next 6 hours then home to a kid free night. Might start my starwars puzzle I got for xmas 1000 pieces lol
Agree @aircircle thanks for moving this up. After my little ones get to sleep, I will be going on a Netflix bender, binging tea & Pellegrino, and chewing more Nicorette gum than would likely be advised (havenāt smoked in 15 years), but this gum is helping me right nowā¦tomorrow, I will wake up 1 month sober

Whatcha watching on Netflix?
Itās snowing. Maybe I will introduce the teens to Aliens - or Men of Honor.
Maybe I will go to an AA meeting. 
There are no Friday SMART meetings. I am a little fidgety.

@MandiH I started a show called āHell on Wheels.ā Itās post Civil War Western about building the railroad through Native American Indian territories. Pretty intense racial and ethnic dynamics and a reminder of our sordid history. Took a few episodes to get into, but Iām liking it now. I didnāt realize Common was such a damn fine actor. I need to check out the Netflix thread for more shows, as thatās my nightly MO these days.

Criminal Minds marathon and breakfast for dinner! Pecan crusted chocolate chip french toast with honey ricotta, scrambled eggs, and maple sausage to be specific.
The holidays are tough for me, lots of stuff comes up and it is my busy season at work. So I am taking a break from being productive for the rest of the day and going to enjoy some much earned time with my fiancee and couch
