I slept good last night the rls yeaterday kicked my arse so once i took the melatonin i was out like a light. I swear that stuff is a miracle. Im gonna try sleep without it tonight though. I go back to work tommorow im a little nervous, but one step at a time. I hear you matt on the whole relationship thing. I want to be in a more healthy place before i try and find my Knight in shining armour:) I wanna learn to love me first its been a long time since i have. well im gonna go try a small breakfast and get out for a bit.

That sounded like the start of a panic attack.  Just your mind responding to all the stress of this situation.  They are terrifying when they are happening.  But they will not hurt you.  Its a fact.  Remember that.

If it happens again, immediately take a walk and breathe very deeply.  Concentrate only on your breathe.  It usually stops it in it's tracks.

Don't stress, ur good!

I dont know whats up with the format you got going on there.  Try adding a double space in there.  But who cares, nobody noticed till you said something!

I am up myself now, groggy!  Hell, haven't even got out of bed yet. Well grabbed coffee to just lay back down to wake up. You sound better today than yesterday already believe it or not girl. Keep mind occupied, stay busy, stay here, do whatever floats the sobriety boat, even for a second. As you can see all of us buddies are here promptly when we get up - being in PST it's just 8am for me. Format, we dont care if u spell backwards here.....we're here! Stay positive and welcome to the huge day 4 start. The sun rirses another day, right?

Hi All,

Just wanted to make a comment on cravings - I read your post Matt about cravings you had yesterday and it made me realize that in my 100 days of sobriety, I have not really experienced a craving at all.  I know that is strange and that I could be the exception to the rule - guess I am lucky.  

I also wanted to take this time to do a little bragging - I am so proud of myself.  I am in the medical device business - head up marketing for my company.  I was in San Francisco a week ago for a hand surgery show and when we travel to meetings like this, we will often entertain surgeons and sales people.  This means dinners, drinking, and sometimes hitting the bar afterwards.  I was so proud of myself, it would have been so easy to drink, but I maintained with little difficulty. My entire staff knows that I am in recovery and they all totally support me.  In situations where people were drinking, I would have a non-alcoholic beer or something else.  I don't need the alcohol to fit in or have fun.  I am so thankful for the support and I have found that when I share with others that I am in recovery - the respect that I get and even congratulations are wonderful.

Thanks for letting me share.

Ness - try hitting the enter key - that should give you a new paragraph.
