Well its time to stop sleeping all day. Im going to stay up today and try to get things normal. Cant keep staying depressed and sleeping it away. Im still watching the online AA meetings on the app In the Rooms. I am feeling more hopeful it is 36 days sober today.

I’m in the same boats girls, lol. Been in and out of sleep this whole entire week. Hopefully be returning to work soon and then its up all night sleep when I can… I kinda like being awake when the rest of the world is asleep… an other days, not so much. I just sleep when I’m tired and don’t stress too much these days.

Im feeling ok i tried to watch some meditation meetings. Do you like meditating? I do sometimes but I always stop after a while. I still get thoughts that make it hard. But i think thats the point to deal with the thoughts maybe.

Yes I do meditation I listen to Jason Stevenson on YouTube I find when I’m falling asleep at bed is best time for me if I do it in day I fall asleep but I do do a morni g gratitude meditation takes 10 minutes or so in morning or courage speech power-driven speeches listen to one the other morning made me cry BC it was so powerful. I’m with you all the way, I’m in UK how about u?with meditation it to allow the thought to be there be then let it go let it flow through you until your concentration is on breath or voice who’s guiding you. That’s make take on it anyhow I’m no guru thou

I think night jobs are the best
First of all congratulations on 36 days, that is amazing 
!
I work swing shift so my sleep patterns are as fucked as you could possibly imagine. 7 days one off, 7 nights five off, 5 afternoons 3 off and repeat over and over again.
I have found that vitamins are key for me personally, Vitamin D mainly. Wintertime is depressing as fuck for me. I also find that if i sleep over 8 hours I’m lazy as shit.
We get better ODAAT, you’re slowly getting better. Keep fighting the good fight.

Don’t do it! I’ve done it 1000 times and i always have to start all over and build momentum to be where you are right now. But I find going to the gym and spending all of my energy, then sitting in a sauna for as long as I can stand it, a little breathwork and mediation when I get home, and I’m out like a light!

Its hard trying to get balanced again. I’m in same boat. I wake up about 330a tossing turning till its time.to get som up and ready at 6a. After he’s off at 7a. I stay up and keep busy with meetings and housework then we hit sack around 10p. Then same routine starts around 330a next day. If I take a nap midday then no sleep. Its crazy and aggravating, sometimes makes me want to slip just to get some good deep sleep🤨. I’m still early in my sobriety and I hear sleeping will get better🙂
