Day 2

Slept some, still have a headache but it's mild. Sleep has been fitful and the dreams are weird. Was planning on lifting weights but the garage is a mess so I'll just jump on the ol air bike instead. First AA meeting will be tonight.

Oh and I'm on Day 7 of consistent meditation. I do 10 mins on the Headspace app and would like to gradually do more.

There are many ups and downs and highs and lows in early recovery. Patience is a real big thing. Hang in there!

You didn't get in the shape you're in over night and it takes a while to climb out!

We're both on day 3 now (I think. I get confused with the times).
We can do this. Hope you're feeling better today.

Went to a local AA meeting and had a really positive experience. Got my white chip and will be going back tomorrow. We will see where this takes me.

Drink more gatorade and water. The headaches may go away.

Good work on the two days, the first week or so from my experience is always rough so hang on it does gets better. I went from nightmares to now pleasant dreams, and even more frequent lucid dreams.
