Insomnia off the charts tonight. Hope I’m the only one, but I have a feeling I’m not. Sorry to anyone struggling.

Well, I’m at work. So, it’s not insomnia. But im here if you would like someone to talk with. 
Thanks, Carly. Trying some breathing exercises and meditation now.
What kind of work do you do?

I work at the juvenile detention center here in Salt Lake City.

Wow. Sounds like scary work. Administrative stuff, or security?
Used to be more people here overnight. They had a Sober Night Owl Community at one time. I suppose I can get on the Everything AA app and find a meeting if I have to.
Neither. I am corrections. 
How long have you been sober?
I have been sober for 10 years now. 
Wow. Congrats. I’m heading into Day 161 here, ODAAT.
Binge drinker. I stepped away from it a couple of times but then thought I could go back and drink like a “normal” person. It never stuck until I started going to meetings.
Tough in Chicago where you can buy booze every 10 feet.

I’ll leave you to your work. I have to try again. Dealing with a fractured vertebrae here so hard to get comfortable.
I really appreciate your being here and being willing to talk. Feels less lonely.
Just needed to make it past 2 here so the bars would be closed. Thanks again.

I talk too much. Sorry. If I can go down now I can get four hours. Better than nothing. Have a great day when the work part is over.
You’re totally fine! I was just talking with a coworker. But I’m still here.

Me too, unfortunately. Tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. Sucks.

Still trying to clear my head but the meditation isn’t really taking. Hard to push the thoughts out. Repeating the serenity prayer over and over again.

Feel like maybe I should shave and shower so I can get a little extra sleep in the morning, but way too tired to get up.
