I am a 51 year old wife, teacher and mother of 2. I have a 21 year old son and a 25 year old daughter. New intro...I am sober and love it! It isn't always easy but it is always worth it! Old intro...I am fighting this damn drug called alcohol. I have been a weekend binge drinker for 30 years. I binge 2-3 times a month on a Friday or Saturday, but alcohol kicks my butt every single day of my life. I am sick of it!

feeling down
I am just feeling a little down today. I didn't get anything done yesterday. Just feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Maybe I am eating too much sugar....maybe I am dehydrated....maybe I am watching too much TV....maybe I need to exercise...maybe I am spending too much time on my computer...maybe I am procrastinating on the things I really need to get done (report cards and taxes)....maybe I should get up and get ready for work...

Sorry you're feeling low. You're right, we are a lot alike! It's my specialty to diagnose myself as having not had enough/too much water/exercise/sleep/sugar/whatever. But you're also right, it's probably best to just get up and go to work and see that things will get better. And they will! Take care of yourself. xo
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are just tired. Sobriety requires a lot of healing of the body. It needs sleep, and extra water, and regular food.
ReplyDeleteThere are always going to be up days and low days. That's why God invented coffee (ha ha).
Seriously, give yourself permission to just take it easy. It is the best choice.
Have a good day at work.

Thanks, Anne! I am trying to give myself permission to take it easy, however my pants are getting harder to put on :)
DeleteIt's okay to feel down and out of sorts right now and you don't need a reason. One of the strangest concepts I had to get my head around was the fact that it was OKAY to do NOTHING if that's what I needed. And I needed it a lot.
ReplyDeleteListen to Ann...give yourself permission to just take it easy and heal.

I just thought being sober would just give me all this energy, but I am so tired!
