- Never been so tired. Regardless of amount of sleep I feel like I havent slept at all. Its very hard making it to work whether alone being productive. Ugh........
- So about 3 years ago I turned from a problem binge drinker to a full blown drink every single night alcoholic. The potential was always there considering my Irish background and a family history of alcoholism, depression, and suicide. I have...
- My Monday night AA group is my favorite group. Its also my Sponsors AA group night. So the fact today is my 30 day anniversary is very fitting!Excited to get raise my hand when the ask "any anniversaries today?". Cant wait to get my coin!Gonna put...
- Started yesterday. Made it through Thanksgiving weekend with family, even went hunting, stayed sober.Starting Sunday night when we got home started feeling a bit depressed. Fell asleep on couch of exhaustion at 830pm, got up went to bed at 9pm slept...
- Attending meetings, taking my meds, have love and support of Wife.Had some longings yesterday but otherwise not much in the cravings department. I think the Gabapentant is really helping with that.
- Went through 3 days intensive Detox at local VA Hospital. Am 2 days post release. Feeling better than I have in a long time. Joined a program where my Wife every morning before she goes to work wakes me up to give me Anabuse. She is only to say...
- Im on day 11 of sobriety. 3 days ago I noticed a growing pain in my stomach (or so I thought). Figuring it was constipation I took treatment. That didnt help. It has since moved into my right side above my hip bone.My Wife thinks its my...
- After being anti AA for years I have decided to give it a go. I am putting everything into it.Today is my 10th day sober. No more cravings, which is amazing to me, and my head is clear and I have lost 5 pounds.So far not much in way of withdrawals....
- Sober for more than 4 days for the first time in 12 years. 8 days today! So far AA is working for me, after years of dismissing it as a fraudulent organization with no true path to sobriety.I thank God for my sobriety yesterday, and ask him/her to...
- I am starting to feel the long term effects of my alcoholism.I have felt "disassociated" with myself for some time now. I originally thought it due to a possible ear infection. Now more recently I have struggled with short term memory problems and...
- I have been taking wellbutrin the last 2 weeks. Now the last few days I feel out of it. Like everything is foggy. I smoked weed when I was younger and its almost exactly like that. The disassociated feeling. To be honest it has me scared. ...
- One week today! I feel fine today. Was up at 5am no problem, and at work at 5:30am. Didnt need to be there till 6. I was just full of energy.My face is really thinning out, I really like it.Went to another meeting last night, helped me stay...
- No dizziness today. I did go home at 7pm last night and I was asleep by 8pm. I slept like a dead man for almost 12 hours. This must be what its like for addicts to come off of a drug. I was sooo tired. My body must have really needed the...
- Made it through the Packer game last night. Drank Sobee Flavored water all night. I ate a whole bag of Almond Joy minis, that seemed to help my vertigo a bit.Not near as dizzy this morning, though I am very very tired and a bit edgy. It was an...
- Made it through my 2nd night not drinking. First time ive gone without a drink 2 nights in a row in a year or more.Im a little dizzy today, and definitely edgy. Since I run a multi-dollar business with over 70 employees i will have to try my best...
