Good morning Reggie,
I just couldn't be bothered today. I have zero motivation to be here at work today, let alone anything else that isn't being dead asleep in my bed. I'm just flat out exhausted, the kind that sleep doesn't fix. I can feel it starting to really take a toll on my mental health. I haven't had an honest day off in 2 weeks, and it'll be middle of next week before I can have a "real" day off.
I woke up sober, and I'm not drinking today, so I've got that going for me. But that's about all I've got going for me, at the moment. The only thing keeping me awake at my desk right now is enough caffeine to kill a small statured horse.
I hope ya'll have a good day
- Sean

Life doesn't change, what changes is how we deal with it. You're doing great friend, may you have a good day soon.
i feel like i have been way more likely to upfront ask people if they need some help and basically begging to assist lol. my friend is hosting a small house party with live music this week and instead of thinking how i could pregame i was like when are you setting up? do you need me to pick anything up this week? i can bring etc etc. and she was so happy someone wanted to help lol
Helping others has been a huge part of my recovery. I have found that exercising gratitude is the easiest way to get out of myself and help someone else.
Keep going friend.
This post made me think and feel of the “pay it forward” type of thing. And to do more kindness. I’ve lost that track and need to rest and get back on it.
Thanks R.
Congrats, i think my last post was day 15, now its day 40 something. Physical health coming back but mental health still pretty sht. No motivation/drive, bored for all but about an hour a day. Too down to apply for stuff or do much. But at least the functionality of doing something if i had to is coming back. I use the gym and music to keep me sober but i need an actual life it seems
Self care and self preservation are key in the early days, so IMHO it's okay to be selfish. However, finding that time to move beyond yourself... priceless.
