04:00 - I got a good night of sleep, was only up once during the night. I had mostly nice dreams, and I feel refreshed from rest. 
Some stress at work has been transformed into a plan to make sure a big event that is coming up goes well, I just have to double-check on arrangements that I have already made. It is all going to be okay, if I make sure that the details are all laid out for everyone to follow. I can make out a check-list and just walk through it.
It all is a factor of not worrying but just doing.

Could not get to sleep last night and woke up with bad dreams.
Hoping to reset my brain with yoga and meeting today. It’s hard to be motivated when tired and in the dumps.
Chloe-I hope your RA settles down.
A safe sober Saturday to all.

-11 forecasted for today, but windy. -5 forecasted for the weekend, but will probably be closer to -20 by the time we get there. In other words, I'm not getting my hopes up.
Very real drinking dream last night, had a hard time convincing myself it was a dream. Took awhile to come to reality.

I woke up for the final time today about 45 minutes ago and have been posting on another thread, but Early Risers jumped up in the queue, it almost always does. I wonder if we have our thread because we are for the most part usually quite cheery very early and must be contained, LOL. I always like to begin my day here when I can to gather some of that energy.
I had a drinking dream last night, too, Dragon. It wasn't very distressing to come out of, but it has been a while. I am purifying my thoughts now with a cup of Java. OK, there is caffeine in there ...
I have one week of work and then a week off. I'm without my phone right now and spending time at my parents every other day, so it's harder to post. So, if I miss a day now and again to say good morning to you all, it's not due to failing to think of you. It's getting warmer this week, and I hope we have some good sunshine on some of those days.
Think good thoughts!

I'm almost always quite cheery in the morning. Mrs Dragon is not so consistent. I have a co-worker that never talks in the morning. You can say good morning to him or whatever, he will not speak. Gotta let him have is coffee in peace. lol.

Up at a leisurely 6:30 am after switching shifts with a coworker yesterday. Storm not nearly as bad as feared, though it is white all around. Looks like I am off to work today.
I don't like drinking dreams. They were more common for me when I did not have much sobriety. I remember in my last one being mad at myself and saying that I had to start my count over again. I hope that would be my attitude if I relapse.
I have been eating a much lower carb diet the past month and have been having very vivid and strange dreams, just like in early recovery. I guess carbs somehow are involved with serotonin production? I will have to look into that.
I will be back on another week of midnight shifts later this week, so no early rising for me for a bit.
Keep warm everyone!

1st weather website said it’s -20 the others say -12. I’ll go with the 12.
Most of us are in the deep freeze. We are hardy people!
Hearing appointment and blood draw today. Weather and physical ailments. I never imagined reporting on them on a sober recovery site.
A safe sober Monday to all.

Another Dr appointment this morning. I look at the results online and start thinking. Thinking leads to more thinking and on and on I go.
I’m a professional over thinker. It doesn’t pay very well though.
A great Tuesday to all.

05:15 -- after early morning dreaming. I've got my chin up after a day of throw-backs yesterday. Those things are done if not gone, just have to move forward some more. I'm going to bring some good news to some people today, so that is something to look forward to instead of ruminating on yesterday.

Chilly morning for this time of year here, in the low teens F. With a cutting wind to boot. I know that's balmy by this board's standards, but still. March has come in like a lion for a week now.
Hope you get to nap a bit Chloe. I never can nap without messing up my nighttime sleep schedule.
Enjoy the day all!
