Showered and dressed. Cleaned a little. Just done eating again. I am afraid if I lay down now I won't wake up and go to 5:30 meeting. Trying to stay awake........

Sleep is when your body repairs itself. Look at it as the blessing it is.

I hope you feel better soon.

I just don't want to miss meeting. Been awake since yesterday at 5:30 am. Only slept like 3 hrs since. This is day 3

Anna

That's often a side-effect of detoxing. It sure was for me, and it took me a long time to get decent sleeping habits. Try to be patient with yourself.

How about some fresh air, keep busy and then storm that 5.30 meeting! !

You can do this!!

Garden1228

Fresh air it's like 26 degrees outside. I would freeze to death.

PurpleKnight

Ah my bad . . . it'd keep you awake though!!

Seriously, activity is the key, chatting on SR, doing something around the house, distraction from the tiredness is your friend!!

You got this!!

Stay strong, Garden1228. This may be the bravest, smartest thing you have ever done in your life. Don't give up. You can DO this!

Not given up. slept bout 30 mins. The dog won't even stay out but to go potty; us both out there trying to walk would be terrible. We would both freeze to death. Obit would say Susan and Josie freeze to death in ditch. No alcohol or drugs found. Poor thing was just trying to stay awake for AA meeting LOL. Sometimes I do crack myself up

I hope you're feeling better after your nap. It has warmed up outside. Certainly above freezing. Take advantage of it since we're supposed to get rain for the next three days.

Well done on three days. Enjoy your meeting.

I will thanks
