Morning, weekenders.

I had the most crazy dream today - that I voluntarily ate a mouse.

I woke up being pretty sure what kind of message my subconscious is trying to send me - that I have to stop self-sabotaging myself and eat mice to punish myself in some way.

I need coffee)

I am flying to croatia with my mum early saturday morning for a week and can't take my laptop with me so will have to use my mobile to get onto SR. Rehab in 11 days though and just want to be there now. Glad you managed to get the holiday stuff sorted vman, bet it's a relief! xx
I’m flying to Croatia too soon.. holidaying. It’s beautiful there. Hope you had a good time 😊

Morning everyone. My hungover friend has just left for his own home and an uncomfortable reunion with his wife. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now.

The humidity level has fallen sharply last night. It feels fresher this morning.

Gotta love the internet. As you all are waking up I am heading off. Looking forward to another 24 hours of sobriety.

Feeling better emotionally and physically today after sweating it out yesterday. Enjoyed a sober day with family from out of town. Went to seafood buffet and mob museum.

It’s 0243 on day 5 morning. I’ve been awake for about 40 minutes tossing and turning, mind goes toward alcohol about not drinking it… About drinking it… About all of the years I have wasted… About all of the people I have harmed… Including myself.

My mind is pondering my relationship with my alcoholic boyfriend – – going through scenarios in my head about meeting just to concentrate on myself and staying clear of people who drink so much, or maybe I should stay away from people who drink it all while l am still very vulnerable.
Suggestions or experience from my more sober experienced SR friends?

Insomniac but Free

Morning all - Irish has been up since 5am lol - the meeting isn’t for another two hours - reminding myself that if it is too much I can always leave!! Trying hard not to carastrophise!

Free - I know I couldn’t be around any drinkers Rn - they say not to make big decisions for six months into recovery tho so just take it easy if you’re still in a relationship maybe

I too have been thinking about the past and my drinking but I’m not holding on to it if you know what I mean? **** happened but this is my crossroads - I read a lot of inspirational sobriety stories and try to stay positive - people like me who went sober and their lives changed exponentially for the better

My life has been stupidly tough so I reckon I’m owed all the best things coming and they had better be coming All I need to do is keep making better choices to encourage the change - like the positive thinking from the law of attraction

Ofc for me around 5pm I crash hard lol I AM the T from HALT ! So I read positive things - allow myself tiredness and the tears and rest hoping for tomorrow x

Best of sober vibes to you, Manta!

Welcome to all new weekenders!

I am back from the market, made a stash of my own healthy food to avoid dependency on my employer's eating schedule.

Now off to the beach to clear my head and wear my workweek stress out.

See you!

Welcome to Weekenders Marcutah and Bernie!

Physical exercise is a great counter to insomnia free2. I found walking to be a help and wish I had found that out earlier in recovery.
