Day 819~ checking in on day 819 feeling strong with my sobriety but I do feel tired both mentally and physically. I need a break. Not sure what that will look like just yet, but somethings gotta give. I do mediation and yoga and that helps but I’m finding lately things are just becoming overwhelming. I constantly feel pulled in different directions. Time to reevaluate somethings. Just gotta keep going no matter what. ODAAT

I hope you get that break without anything having to “give”. Everyone needs to recharge, find a way to do it before it’s all too over bearing.
Thanks for checking in. It’s a good reminder to be aware of how you feel. And letting others know is always good.

thank you
I hear that. I’m about 700 days in and looking for a change of pace myself. My kids are almost done with school for the year. We just got a pool after several years of planning, and I’m really looking for a new career path. All of these things in addition to sobriety and daily life are exciting but stressful!!
I hope some doors open for you.

thank you most days I’m positive but sometimes it all just gets to be too much. Enjoy your pool!
First, way to knock out 819 (now 820) ODAAT’s! That’s seriously solid! You are so blessed! At 294 days, I feel like that too sometimes. Work, family, meetings, gym, etc…it just feels like I’m constantly running from one thing to the next. Like you, I find peace in my prayer and meditation, but I long for a “break”. I need to be careful with that longing. I need to find healthy ways to deal with these feelings. I’m looking to go to a spiritual retreat next month. I need to turn life off for a few days and get grounded. Life is good. All is well. I just need to enjoy the days more. I’m always pushing to meet some deadline, sales quota, financial goal, relationship goals, fitness goals, and so on and so no lol. As I write this I see I’m the problem lol. Oh well, I’ll figure it out…and then find myself back at the same place again somewhere down the road lol. As long as we don’t drink,and do the work, things have a way of working out. Hope you find some peace! The fact that you are planning it is a good sign that you will find what you’re looking for.
