1 of my biggest triggers...

Is not being able to sleep; which is the case now. Back hurts, tired of the pain pills making me sick. Mind is racing, as always lately. But strangely I have no desire, cravings, or feel the need :-) Not saying it is a "break through" or nothing, just thought it was cool. Ohh IM, if ya read this Ex's mom is getting us cup cakes, so yes it is a cup cake day ;-)

Ditto - nothing worse than fighting sleep! Hope you rest soon. Brilliant that your first thought isn't to drink though it's progress.

Yea, I think so as well. Considering I never even thought why I can't or how I can "get away" w\ it. Just layin' here reading & started to laugh and then I realized normally I would have a beer & I don't want it .. Super happy w\ that.

a lot of hard physical activity during the day is the best cure for insomnia. Long walks in particular.

I hope your triple cupcake session didn't get you to sugar shocked . But I'm glad you are on the upswing. I've noticed your posts are more positive and less defeatist! And I think maybe it's clicking? Getting the you back you haven't seen in decades.

Something clicked & I have seen diff. Vibes from things @ the house. Most importantly, I think I finally "admitted" it instead of just "saying" it.

we can only hide our truths for so long! Saying it will never be enough with ANYTHING. It's in the doing it and believing it that we find our salvation. Has pain decreased since your more positive outlook?
