It's not ideal I know and far from it. But there is no quicker way to crazy (for me) than not sleeping. Apart from drinking and not sleeping still while being abused at the same time kinda thing. The unexpected joints were a key factor, no doubt I'd have been posting on here otherwise. Just listened to some music last night and enjoyed that much. Had a little cry for myself. Then I pretty much settled for a bit and fell into bed.
It's a deeper issue. Hey guys hot shower just before bed or not?

I understand all that - but if you set up a conditions where it's ok to drink if you can't sleep (which effectively is what you did) you're making a really heavy rod for your back.
I'm not a sleep scientist or a conflict mediator - I don't know what the answer is for you - but I know what it's not.

Have had no trouble with the radio guy since folks, he's quiet as a mouse in there as he is on the puff (I can smell it at times)
Will be having these conversations with my group in the morning anyway, well I mean, my side of it.
Gonna hop into bed and open 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' despite not having a motorbike.
I have a bike though which doesn't work, so I guess I can pretend to that part

I am back to the old habit of not being able to sleep and when I finally do I sleep till noon. I have been more active like running and riding my bike hoping that will help with sleep. It hasn't helped yet but it is keeping me busy so I'm not drinking. Still waiting to go back for my check up to get full release to lift more than 10 lbs. school starts tomorrow for the kids so I plan on dropping them off and walking/jogging or something to keep me busy. Hope everyone is doing well I will be going back to read some. I was also trying to avoid some of the drama that was going on as it really upset me and wasn't helping. But anyways I'm here still trying

Good to see some more people checking in again

Hi gang. My apologies for being so absent.
Keets!!! Welcome back. 4 days is where it's at
Kayak and SpaceGoat, sorry for your recent troubles or whatever you want to call them. You are both doing a better job than me of keeping active here - glad to see that.
I have just been plugging along. I'd like to say I've been doing excellent but really I have just been forcing myself to stay sober. I have a lot going on, which is good, but it's keeping me from seeing past each day's immediate issues. It will get better in time - not complaining!! Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows - but that's what makes the sunshine and rainbows so awesome
Casey, Bobbie, Kiki, Sam, Applekat, Fred, Pelagic, PeacefulRain, Immri, Lillian Gish, thirteenth (gosh, who am I forgetting). You are all so wonderful - thanks for being here.

Thanks for the welcome back guys.
It's nearing bedtime on day 4 and somehow made it without drinking, my husband insisted on getting beer so I went in with him to make sure he didn't get any extra like shots. That's all we came out with with was his six pack and nothing else, I won't drink beer so I'm good but for a second I felt like caving in.
School starts back tomorrow and I will be alone for the first time in 12 years but it's not all rest. I already have football practice 3days a week for my son plus all his football events vet appts, physicals, appt for braces and I have also signed up to be a class mom for one kid. Plus image a bird who won't lay her egg and has already cost 600 for nothing and it could still kill her. Oh and one of the vet visits is for a kitten we just got.
whew seems like my kids going back to school has created more work for me some how. Lol sorry had to get that off my chest sooooo much to do so little time. On the plus side no kids =s time for aa now.

Still at work. My last table won't leave though we've been closed for half an hour. Their ticket was over $400. Hopefully they'll tip accordingly. I think I had them a few weeks ago and they did. Anyways I'm bored. Everyone else is planning their after work drinking and I just want to go home and play video games for an hour.
Grateful to be sober. Grateful for my job most of the time. Grateful to see so many here in class today. If you're struggling, remember you don't have to take that first drink NO MATTER WHAT. It really does get easier if you just stick with it and don't keep resetting that clock. If I can quit drinking for almost five months now, anyone can.
Sweet dreams everyone. Talk to you in the morning.

Well I made it!! I can't believe it but I did....��
Sitting in our hotel room while everyone "sleeps it off" makes me feel pretty proud I am not sure what today holds but I know it's going to be a lot more enjoyable because I didn't drink!!
