Day 50

I've used this time sober as a learning experience.

Today I feel tired. Tired of the struggle, tired of learning and just tired in general. However even in my tiredness I realize this is a learning experience. I'm learning to deal with life even when tired sober.

It has been worth it and I know life will continue improving. Life will not continue getting better just because I'm not drinking, but because I am actively making positive changes no matter how small. Those small things will eventually become big things. Just like having 50 days sober. It takes one day at a time that adds up to bigger numbers.

Well done on achieving 50 days. Regarding being tired: Are you tired due to lack of sleep (like me) or because of low energy? Either way, congratulations & stay the course.

I'm tired emotionally and physically. I'm in the process of changing jobs and moving "home" which is 50 miles away from where I live now. Since 2013 this is my 3rd move. The last 2 were done while a very active alcoholic. This move is going to be very good for me. I look forward to moving to a town I feel safer in and has more opportunity for alcohol free events. I will have to work at my new lifestyle when I move back, but it is a town that I feel is better for my recovery.

This is an experience being sober. Nothing to dull the worry and stress. Although this just made me realize I need to find something to do to relieve stress.

Thank you all for your encouragement.

Sinderos, it's understandable that, sometimes, we feel tired in every way. Take some time to relax if you can, go for a walk, listen to music, and allow yourself to rest a bit. Good luck with your upcoming move and I'm glad it will be such a positive experience for you.
