Not sure if my previous post posted… this lack of sleep thing sucks. I had family come to visit for the first time in forever and they have a million plans but not sleeping make you feel depressed and out of it and isolated…. Im thinking I have to tell them I need To go to AA. I took time off to spend with them but I should go to AA. When I didn’t have to go to work because of Covid I made myself go to meetings and they helped. I walked in to my first meeting feeling like life was over and left feeling loved and supported. It’s just awesome to be around people who have been there, it give me hope and… yeah my mind is made up I got to make AA my priority. It’s tough with work though.

Hey Christine sound like you and I are alike. I have anxiety at times. I rarely sleep over 5 hours a night. Don’t be afraid to open up and tell your family about AA. I’m the youngest of 8 siblings. They all know I go to meetings and are proud of me. Even though a couple of them should probably be going. Funny even after multiple years of sobriety thoughts can still rare up. Glad to chat with you hang in there. Let’s stay in touch. Have a great day!

I just started working nights and it messed my sleep schedule all up. Lack of sleep makes me feel crazy. It messed my meeting schedule up too. I make sure to always keep in contact with my network though. I can’t. We can.

I’ve gone to 525 meetings since leaving rehab on December 12, 2019. I document everything. lol I’ve never had so much free time in my life. I spent so much time chasing the booze that it’s ridiculous. Making recovery your #1 priority gives you such an abundance of life.

I agree. If you don't, then you have nothing to offer anyone else, if you are in a relationship.
