My little dog woke me up at 4 am again. But I managed to get back to sleep for a couple more hours. I don't mind so much cause I always feel good when I wake up, even if it's early.

Would love to join you folks. I have my alarm set for 4am tomorrow (I work on a farm.) I haven't gotten into the swing of a solid morning routine for sobriety but maybe tomorrow should be a start.

(Good to see some old, familiar faces here.)

Happy Monday

Great to see you here on this early morning Isaiah.

A nice sober day wished for all,

Woke up at 4:10.
Work and then the grocery store planned. I'm lucky I work
part time. I don't know how I did it full time and drinking.

Grateful for another sober day.

6:19 AM and been up for a while.
Going to the mortuary this morning -- my father passed away.
Glad that he saw a (totally) sober Bob these last few years of his life.

I am sorry for the loss of your father Mountainmanbob.
It is wonderful he had the peace and serenity of sobriety.

I treasure my sobriety. Last Christmas Eve I had been sober 8 days after a hospital visit. I bought 4 pints of vodka to last through Christmas Day.
Once I started you know how that went! I have 2 flashes of memory
from that day. I drank it straight in front of my granddaughter I was told.
What a sick desperate time.
Please God never again.

My little dog woke me up at 5 to let her out. So I just made coffee and stayed up. It's wonderful to wake up feeling good.

3:10 AM and I think that I'm awake for the upcoming sober day ?

I don't know -- the couch looks pretty inviting.

Maybe a slight snooze after a cup of decaf and some computer time ?

A nice sober day wished for all,
M-Bob

Greta woke me up at 5:30 to go out so I'm up for the day. I like the early morning peace and quiet.

Woke up at 4:04.
Monday's work is always double but today will be triple work.
I'm hoping it goes smoothly and I will ask for help if needed.

Grateful I made it through the holiday weekend sober. It was rough emotionally.

I will be saying the serenity prayer a lot today!

Take care everyone

I first woke around 3:45 then dozed on and off until 6. Not at all unusual.

Had a wonderful Christmas weekend - actually a wonderful few weeks.

Having coffee and planning my day. Most of my larger clients have shut down for the week so it's sort of a mini vacation until the new year. I'll take it.

I will probably go to a morning meeting, hit the bank, do some billing and clean the kitchen. If I play my cards right I may even work in a nap.

Life is good.

Good morning

A busy day ahead. Work, home group meeting at noon. Then store
And chiropractor. There is a BB meeting at 7:30 I'd like to check out
but I usually go to bed at 8:00. Nice to not plan activities around drinking.

Have a good Tuesday everyone
