Acheleus

Slept a long time last night and I am still tired. My body must be recuperating from all the sleep deprivation and binging. I am trying to get some reading done today and plan my day tomorrow. Today I do not want to panic about the work week like I usually do. The good things I want in life are not going to come knocking on my door-I have to go out there and make my life. But I know I must deal with my depression, anxiety, and alcoholism first.

Sounds good. How is the AA/sponsor thing going?

Going to afternoon and late meetings. I am step 3 and reading BB. I also am trying to figure out who I really am. For one thing I am tired of being poor and I want a better job, so I need to start working on that. I also want to leave the state I am in so I am trying to do a lot at once.

You can do it. Keep on rocking it. There is plenty of happiness out there, but it's always found sober.

Keep with it, Ach. You're doing great and we're all behind you cheering you on

Keep it up, man.

But just remember, goal number 1 right now is to stay sober. The other stuff will come in time. No need to do everything at once.

I just posted a long rant in the class of March thread about I still don't know who I am after 6+ months of sobriety. It takes time.

Well done on 8 days Ach, now you only need 6 days to make it 14 days, two whole weeks.

Honestly, Ach... you sound great! There is a huge difference in your tone here. All good, too!! Sounds as if you are finding a bit of serenity for the moment. You wrote down some good goals. Hang in there. Stay focus and be patient. It won't happen over night... but when you look back you will see that time goes by so quickly...

Going to start reading now and try to work on my paper in my head, somehow. I'm feeling very good today and I have gotten three whole nights of good sleep! Thank you guys.

Awesome, Ach. I'm at a week today myself. I finally slept some last night and had some appetite yesterday. Friday night and Saturday night were very hard for me, but the sense of accomplishment this morning is incredible. Keep with your plan and you'll be good!
