Maybe that’s why I’m not sleeping well… To much damn sugar in my diet. I woke up at 4am again and I can’t seem to shut my brain off so I can go back to sleep. So of course i check in on here! I’m a mess.

Thanks Conor. I’m going to shut this phone off and try to get a few more minutes rest before I have to get ready for work. I’ll be around later I’m sure.

Good morning sunshine people

In answer to your question, I’m good thanks, bit hormonal and grumpy, but some yoga and a nice dog walk this morning helped shift my perspective.
My little boy has his first full morning at his nursery today, out in the big wide world without me

Thanks. Managed another hour with some guided meditation to help me fall back asleep. Now I have to get moving to be at work on time but I sure could use another hour.

Frantasticooo · October 28, 2019, 11:31am

Working but I did get an hour to myself and took the dogs out. X

Carlos is correct
Or get some Big Wipes they work well.

Yes mate, roads all clear. Rivers are still up. It’s cold today. And I’m pruning roses.

anon12657779 · October 28, 2019, 3:20pm

anon12657779 · October 28, 2019, 4:21pm

Cool. Do you know anything about roses?

Glad to hear that! I got my own copy of the Big Book at my meeting Saturday. I’ve made a little bit of a dent in it. Interesting to read.

Natnat · October 28, 2019, 5:00pm

I love my big book but didn’t understand it much until I worked my steps. No sure why but I always read chapter 5 when I hit a0 rough day x

I’m ok. At work as usual. I’ve had work to do this morning so that’s a nice change of pace. I heard from my sponsor about 4 hours after I texted her. She told me she’s amazed at how far along I am. I guess she’s not used to having someone start AA on day 44. Or having someone who has had such amazing online support like I’ve gotten here. She told me to keep up the good work and call her if I feel like drinking. I think I’m going to suggest we grab a coffee before next week’s meeting. Maybe then I can get more of a feel for what to expect.
