Good Morning Y'all!! Hope everyone had a great night. I'm just wondering if you have felt this.. The past few nights I have been sooooo tired could be a few other factors involved as to why I am feeling like this, but I'm thinking it's because I haven't been drinking??? I fell asleep from 5:00-700pm then went to bed at 10:00 read for a little and then feel asleep and then was up a few times walking around.. mind you I heard some drunk people leaving the bar last night and it woke me up boy did it annoy me!! probably because I used to be one of them leaving at 2:30 in the morning, acting loud and obnoxious!! anyway just thought I would throw this out here and see what you think
Have a terrific day!!
p.s. Been hard fighting off the craving, it's been so hot here, that old thinkin' about drinkin' has been creeping in... but I've been praying !!
Love ya all

Some days I will stay up until 4 in the AM, others I go to bed around midnight. I don't think that it is keeping you up, but it is possible. How long have you been clean? I have 78 days and I went to treatment, where we were on a tight schedule. That helped to train me. You have to change your bodies sleep schedule. It may take a bit. How long have you been this way?

Good morning Lovedove:)
I have been dead tired lately too. I thought it was the weather but i have also been sick to my stomach lately, and i'm wondering if i don't have lyme disease. (i got bit by a tic about a month ago) and i saw on the news the other day that lyme disease is already bad in this area this spring, and those are the symptoms ;( ....anyways didn't mean to get off the subject, but like you, i am so tired at night, so i go to bed early, then i wake up at like 3 or 4am. and i'm wide awake. That has happened since the first time i got sober. Does that always happen to you or just last night? Because maybe you just couldn't sleep anymore because you fell asleep earlier?
The good thing about it though is we sleep soooo much better when we're sober than we do when we're drunk.;)
Lovedove, you are doing soooo great, you should be so proud of yourself. I know i am very proud of you. So please, please, please don't drink!!!!! k?
I have been fighting off a few of those little buggers lately too. I even had a dream that i was drinking and i woke up so mad at myself! ;) lol....
But if you do feel like you're going to drink, please come on here and post, i promise you will feel better! We're all here for you;)
(((((((LOVEDOVE))))))) Have a great day!

HI Lovedove (hi to Jayde and lovin'life too), sorry you've been so tired... I can sympathize, I've been having problems with early waking - I go to sleep just fine but often wake up at 4am or so and can't get back to sleep. This morning I made it till 6am, but I don't actually have to get up till 7:30 or so. So I'm a little tired today. I haven't been sure if the lack of booze had anything to do with it. I'm telling myself that tired is always better than hungover! I hope you feel better soon... and Jayde is right, don't drink!! Keep us posted, and hugs from me...
Hey gals!!! and lovin'life. I was thinking today that maybe it's the time of the year? our clocks are all outta whack or something, anyway not going to worry about it just thought maybe there was a connection.. and if all of you are the same well that means I'm normal lololololololol :) right?? Had a great day today, it has been so hot here on the West Coast, summer is early this year, it was so nice taking the dogs out today in the forest, it's a little piece of heaven in there.
Thanks so much for all your support you gals,and guys I love my cyber buddies!! I never thought in a million years I would ever be doing this, I'm normally very reserved with my feelings and my experiences I don't open up to anyone, and honestly I never admitted really to anyone about my alcohol abuse. only the ones that are close to me know, but it's so nice coming here and being with all of you wonderful people who were strangers and now are my friends!! I look forward to coming here everyday!!
Love ya!!

Boy, I'm like on the marathon posting session! It is totally normal to have inconsistent sleeping patterns while first getting sober and naturally that will make you tired. You body is going through a major healing and you may be tired for awhile, but just take it easy and rest when you have the opportunity to do so. Actually, what am talking about I'm still tired ~ lol...in fact I'm exhausted tonight...I'm already in my pajamas and it is only 6:00 pm here on the West Coast.
Hi ladies
I've been tired and grumpy and a bit headachy myself. I'm sure VW is right, our bodies are makinga big adjustment.
You guys are mind readers I was thinking on the bus I'd post about how bummed I am that my energy level hasn't bounced back like I'd hoped. It seems to take longer and longer for me to get my energy back each time I get sober. I guess I've been taking a toll on my poor old bod.
Jayde - you'd better go to the doc and get checked out. Don't want you getting sick.
Lovedove, ciaobella and anyone else I missed - so glad to see you all on line and read your cheerful posts and even when they're not we still have a bit of a giggle. I love you guys so much for your support and how good you all are to each other.
Give a thought to me as I get through this first Friday night of my sobriety. (11:30am friday here now for me).
love yas.

Idgie, yes I didn't bounce back like I thought I would either...but I have to remember if I was still out drinking I'd be tired everday! Now I have less exhausting days then before. Hold on, Friday was a hard night for me too, but it's just another night...you don't have to abuse yourself with alcohol...you're doing great...so happy that you're sober!
VWgirl,
It was 9pm here, so you're excused LOL

WW - That was too funny! I was in bed by 8:00 pm! OMG, I'm late for work! Oh wait a minute it's only 6:25 am on the WC. I forgot to switch timezones! LOL! I'm so happy it's Friday!
Hi Love Dove...when I first got sober...it took a while for my body to adjust...I had sleeping problems and stomach problems...I am not sure how much time you have but you have to give your body time to adjust to all the changes...I can tell you it gets better...mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually...not everyday is rosey and wonderful but your worse day sober is better that your best day drunk...there are rough patches for sure but work your program and the steps...do you go to AA? Meetings helped me a lot especially in the beginning. And the steps...well...they changed my life...Good luck...gina
