Occasionally my roommate will stay up all night if he has an appointment for something in the morning. Sometimes if it’s late at night he is afraid if he lies down for a couple hours and gets only 4 or 5 hours of sleep that he will be too sleepy to be able to get himself up in time. It sounds weird but I do it too. Well, neither of us could sleep last night so he decided at 1:30 am to stay up all night so he could eat breakfast at 8:00 am. I decided to also. But at 4:30 am he told me, ; I’m just going to sleep for a couple hours and then get up". Well, 8:00 am came and I got ready to go to breakfast and I tried to wake him up but he wouldn’t budge.So I went alone and when i came back to the room he was half-asleep. it struck me as funny and I said, 'Isn’t it ironic that you stay up all night for breakfast and then at the last hour you fall asleep and miss it?" He kind of grinned and said ‘yes’ and we both had a good laugh.It’s been a long time since I laughed out loud and it felt good. And I thought, " Cool, I have this disease but i was able to laugh in it’s face".
Ahah It is funny
How are you doing minnii? You’ve been posting some serious stuff lately.
I’m alright, been a rough couple of weeks but I’m good. I’m starting therapy soon, I think I need it.
I’m also going out more to see if I can clear my head from all the issues and it works. Helps me get serious with sobriety and loosen up with obsessing over the illness.
The delusions are fading, which is really great
I’m good, no worries.
Thanks for asking. How are you?
Errrr, umm. not bad, an easy morning so far. Yeah, I love it when those symptoms fade away. Isn’t that the best feeling? I will pull for you to maintain your sobriety. And yes, you used the right word. Maintaining your sobriety is dead serious and takes action and work. I’ve been meaning to go to a meeting for a long time. I’m due. I’ve been breaking out the CA and NA main texts to motivate me to attend a meeting. No worries here either, have a good one.
You should go to a meeting, I hear they’re good for you! I might try it sometime
You’re darn right, I’ve probably been to a thousand and I always here something i needed to hear.
