Good afternoon, everyone!!!

I am still experiencing some sleeping issues. I keep waking up several times during the night with periods of just tossing & turning. I did realize last night that maybe my TV is the culprit. I like to fall asleep to the TV but I always forget to set my sleep timer. Last night, I set the sleep timer & realized I slept much better. I still woke up in the night but only twice (versus 4 or 5 times) & fell back asleep much faster. So I am convinced my TV isn't helping.

Oh & today is...wait for it.......wait for it.........90 DAYS OF A WONDERFUL ALCOHOL FREE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Thanks JoJo (that's my niece's nickname too)!

Jojo1965

That's cool!

Funny thing about my name.... My bio dad's name was Joel. My siblings names are Joletta, Joseph, Joel Jr. and my given name is JoAnna. So when I'm in a family setting my name is Anna or Annabelle. But all my friends call me Jojo and I call my siblings Jo, or Jojo too. Oh boy, it causes some confusion. Someone calls our name and we all answer. lol

GF last night while watching movie said I looked "really good" -
while she had her cold medicine and red wine. It didn't bother me
a bit. I did have my ice cream with a Ho Ho and a little caramel.

Maybe it is the ice cream that is making me so healthy?
I don't think so - it's that "dewy" skin someone was talking
about the other day. And my hair seems to look and behave better -
but that doesn't make any sense, does it?

The AV is itching at me a bit, especially when I think about my teens,
who I have back with me on Thursday. But I think I can make it.

Congrats to all, another day is here!

Evening everyone

Can't think of anything positive to say i'm afraid

Cravings bad right now.

Well done to everyone reaching milestones & JT on 90 days awesome !!

Jojo1965

Hang in there Saoutchik!

The craving will pass! Maybe drink some water, take a little walk or go back and read all your awesome posts to our class.

You can get through it, I know you can.

Morning All,

Hope everyone is travelling along ok!

Didn't have the best sleep last night. Didn't drift off till after midnight, then awake at 3am and it didn't even feel as though I had slept. Very tired eyes and body this morning.
Starting a yoga class tonight - mainly looking forward to the 10minutes of meditation/relaxation at the end of the class.

One day at a time.......

Hope you all have a good one :-) Strong strong.

Day12 here, just checking in, it's 830am and I've got to head to work in a minute, then meeting right after I finish tonight which is conveniently round the corner.
Don't feel like drinking yet today, hope that lasts I might have to see the person I've been on again off again with for 4 years and really need to end things, not a healthy relationship but stressful to end, agh
Well done everyone!!!

saoutchik

Thank you Jojo, Teebee, Soberwolf

Awful awful night but still sober

I did go for a walk, it ususally does the trick but not tonight. I walked for an hour and finally gave in and bought half a bottle of scotch. All sorts of crazy thoughts going thru my head - the main one being ' i'm going to die a drunk and a jerk'. I thought about all the posts i'd read on SR and felt ashamed really, I took a route back home along the cana footpath, afer dark it's a good place to robbed or worse but I thought ot would be doing me a favour. By chance I saw some guys who live in sheltered accomodation and on an impulse I gave them the booze

I got home and just sat stock still like corpse for an hour.

Cravings gone but i'm exausted kind of hollowed out

Bed seems like a good idea

LOL I went through every January post from 1/1/2015. I tell you it definitely kept me busy last night. Kind of therapeutic. Going to add those I missed and whoever joins and re-post in Feb.

Saoutchik – OMG you must be so proud of yourself!!! I swear I was reading your post holding my breath. I am SO happy for you … and relieved. Hang in there, everything I’ve read says it gets better – AV voice gets more spaced out over time and I hope quieter.

Finishing up a slide deck and I have my flight back home tomorrow so I don’t care how long I stay up because I can sleep on the plane.

Soberwolf

So so glad you didnt drink Saoutchik you done amazing by not drinking and you have strenghtened your sobriety

I remember them days when i sat there for a hour you really have done amazing

Tomorrow is a new day it will get easier
