I can just picture the two of you, Rochele! I'll just bet she'll be thinking how "special" it was later, when she goes to bed.

I used to die for naps mid afternoon, too. And I'd always wake up feeling cranky, unproductive, and depressed.

Today, I got so much more accomplished than usual. Not half of what I'd hoped, but definitely more than had I been feeling under the weather!

Yay us! haha

It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it Caravaggio?

Tallia... did you ever get to see the rest of your movie? If so, was it a good one? I simple adore seeing just about any kind of film.

Well not doing so well. But I will be checking detox places out when I get back. Last night I told myself I would never post on this site again. Then I thought, this is the only place that gave me hope when there was none. So I am staying but probably won't post much from the cabin. I will send some pics IF you keep in mind, it's really a cabin, not a spacial home on the beach!

Love you guys bunches!!! 😳

Somehow I managed to run 2.5 miles today, so feeling a little tired and good about restarting this journey today. I'm really going to have to do something about Friday nights though. It's bizarre really because I pretty much drank 12-13 beers every single night so not sure why Friday is even a trigger. It's not like I leave the house when I drink.

Anyway, see you tomorrow on day 2.

Rochele and NewLeaf, I am so with you on the naps. I couldn't get through a single day without them. I even considered going to the doctor to ask why I couldn't seem to stay awake for a single day and wanted to go to bed by 8:30. Duh!

Kiddo is still so sick. Husband is staying at home tomorrow so I don't have to drag kiddo to daycare. I am swamped with work but it's keeping me busy. I just have to hang in there for one more month.

Uninvited and Raider, glad to see you.

Day 15 done.

Didn't go to the AA meeting as promised. Just was a little uncomfortable. Have to go to 12 of those in 12 weeks. Maybe I'll go either tomorrow or Tuesday when I have to go to the group therapy sessions.

Here's to another week of bein sober. Keep up the good work everyone.

Raider, I will keep you in my prayers over your vacation. I hope you can come to form a plan, and have some time to meditate and relax. Come on back to SR when you get home.

*******************

Headed to bed to read. Was awake way to early this morning. Just still seeming to have restless sleep, waking early in the mornings, around 4ish. I used to blame the drinking. Maybe it is just insomnia. I have a couple of books I need to read. One for pleasure I want to get finished, and a recovery book, the Rational Recovery one. I will read for a bit before I sleep.

Goodnight everyone.
