4 months sober

Since the **** hit the fan I haven't really been "working the program" but still managed to hit my 4th month. I still don't miss alcohol or weed whatsoever (although they are both in my dreams frequently). I have kept in touch with my sponsor and attended a couple of Zoom AA meetings. I typically loathe video chat which is one thing that's kept me away. Also the sound quality on my phone is terrible. I've been considering getting a webcam & mic for my PC.

Anywho, I haven't posted in quite a while but wanted to pop in to give others that may be struggling a little hope. Thanks for reading!

Good to hear from you!

How's the sleep going?

I'm glad you're hanging in there with your sober time. Man, has it been four months??

Congrats on your achievement. I think improved technology for video calls would be a great investment right now. Tell the truth - do you loathe video because you don't like the way you look on it? That might be the case with me.

Thanks bimini! Sleep has been really good since about a week into sobriety. At first I was on Ativan to help with any sort of detox complications. Then in the 2nd week my doc added trazodone. I'm off of Ativan now but still on trazodone. I had a plan to taper off of it before this whole pandemic situation but don't really want to mess with it since it's working. Once things normalize a bit I'll consult my doc and develop a plan. I would like to be completely off of meds by the end of the year though.
