7am UK time, I'll take another 24. Having paracetamol on toast for breakfast before a long day at work, the manflu continues!! Still, feeling ill beats feeling ill and hungover any day.

You are too funny, mcflurry!!!! Feel better soon.

He never complains.

You all are amazing people and I love the attitude, the truths, the fun we have together. Maybe we should have an SR Cruise somewhere. Just a lot of cake, coffee, laughter, and playing. Since that cannot happen in real life, let's take a virtual cruise together. We already have cake everyday, and now we have kittens. . . so let's sail somewhere awesome and enjoy the world.

So happy to be home and back where I belong.

I'm packing my bags, Altoids. what time do we embark?!!!

Hello SR. Here for a sober day. My week has been terrible...My MIND is ALL over the place. Angry at everything, Sad at everything. Feeling that SOMETHING must change just not sure what.

Feels like my mind is in total *flight* mode right now...But for the life of me i'm not sure what it's going on about. Hard to work/focus right now.

All this with 13 and half months sober...I'm still going to AA and talking to my sponsor but really want this feeling to Pass.

Anybody relate to this? Any ideas what i could try?

Thanks for being here SR.

Hi, Finding. I would suggest guided meditation or meditative yoga; both could help ground and direct your thoughts.

Finding,

Sorry to hear how you are feeling. it's hard to say exactly what you may be dealing with.

There is HALT, Paws, Hypoglycemia, Nutrition issues, Anxiety, Depression that you could be feeling.

It could be spiritual, physical, mental or emotional states out of xync.

You could try focusing on just the moment and on your breathing. Perhaps a doctor appt is in need. If you are dealing with any kind of stress, you might talk it over with a counselor.

If you are up to it, and a believer, try Prayer and Meditation.

I'm glad you're talking to your sponsor but maybe you need professional help right now.

Have you been really working your steps?

I wish I could help more but I do believe in our gut we know the next step to take. Pause and Think. Make a decision to do something to help yourself.

Sending prayers your way.

L&L,
Kris
