Very tough day today. Didn't drink but didn't have a lot of peace. I'm feeling very overwhelmed by life, or my lack of ability to find my place in it right now.
ugh. Beautiful day, did all the right things, still fell apart several times. Analysis paralysis, I think.
People need to stop trying to psychoanalyze me. Or I need to stop, or something. I don't even know right now.
Did MrFixit find those poker pictures? No? Oh well, probably for the best.
I just want to unplug from the human race - - again - - such a bad idea, and yet, that's what I do.
/end scattered rambling rant.
I'll check in tomorrow. Be well everyone. Go to bed sober.

I'm sorry you're having a tough day today, Biminiblue.
Sounds like a good idea to turn your brain off for a bit and just kick back and relax for a while.
Don't completely unplug. Isolation isn't good.
Have a serene sober evening. Take care of yourself tonight.

Good evening class-mates. I am very new here and am learning a lot by reading these conversations. Per the recommendation of Dee74, I am checking out this thread, and *wow* there is a lot of action here. Just curious: what happens after the calendar flips to April…do we people who started in March keep posting here to this string?

Welcome 
yeah you just keep posting here taproot.
Sometimes if people drink/use again, they'll move to the month of their new sobriety date but I hope that won't apply to you or anyone else here

I know for sure you have a place in life, at least for me as a minimum your posts on here have brought light and hope to me in some crappy and stressful times.
Take care

Welcome, Taproot! Thanks for joining us. I, for one, have found checking in to this group very helpful. It's really nice to talk to others who are in the same boat, and started sobriety right around the same time.
The idea is that you stay in touch on this thread as you are part of the "Class of March 2014." And the thread will be moved to the Dailys when April begins. So, yes
What does Taproot mean? I wonder if people would be interested in sharing why they chose their names...

I think a lot of us want to be 'fixed yesterday' Bimini and that's not always possible.
Even the best of us have bad days.
Like someone once asked me - maybe you're where you need to be right now?

Hi Bimini, I'm proud of you for staying sober on such a tough day.
Retreating can be great to ensure you have space to recharge and reflect. I love to retreat as well. I hope you get to indulge in that but get yourself out there when you know it's time.
(hugs)

Maybe if I was/had just what I am wishing for I would pass by what I need to learn and end up not being the wiser for it. I've never had a strong faith in the past and I feel like it's been developing gradually these last several months. I hope this is part of my gaining acceptance and ability to be more in the moment.
Goodnight Marchers. Rest well and sober.

That is a very insightful way to look at things. I'll have to ponder that.
Have a good sober night!

Congrats enfinthechange and nice hearing from you!
Aarry, exercise works well even just walking like others said. I heard banana and/or toast at night may help? Nice hot bath perhaps? Treat yourself nicely you deserve it !!
Calling it a night all...
See you on day 12 sober . Grateful for you all !
