I can feel the fog lifting again. I feel better in myself already although I’m very tired; it’s hard for night shifters to get any decent sleep when it’s bright and sunny outside. I’m looking forward to 4 nights off work now.
I’ve also remembered that I remember my dreams when I lay off the booze and had a comical awakening yesterday because I dreamed my cat was dancing to hip hop. Okaaayyyy… not sure where that came from.
At work last night I got a sad reminder to appreciate the moment. A young guy who worked there had epilepsy and had a seizure in the night and never woke up again. He was 27. Too young and too sad 😦
I’ve also been doing lots of clear-headed thinking this week about meaning and purpose in life and I’ve had a real aha! breakthrough moment. I’m too tired to explain it now, more about that later.
Excuse the disjointed stream-of-consciousness here; I feel like I’ve been awake for a week. It’s time to sleep now. Have a lovely sober day folks x
tired of treading water 
Have a good day too. I hope you get some sleep.

OK, so now I’ve got this vision of a super cool, break-dancing cat in my head! That’s really made me smile. Can’t wait to hear about your ‘breakthrough’ moment. What happened to that young man is so sad. I don’t know his name but will say a prayer for him. Don’t apologise for the stream of consciousness thing… thoughts don’t always follow an ordered pattern and it’s OK to share about whatever is going on for us. I think we process some stuff ‘up top’ when we’re thinking to ourselves but lots of the good stuff happens when we give those thoughts and feelings a voice through sharing. Hope you get some sleep. All the best, Billie.

Hi Billie. I did sleep thanks, first in bed and again on the sofa as well afterwards. The young man’s name was Lee, a prayer would be lovely thank you. As for the breakthrough I can feel it gaining momentum, will write later. Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂

Day 6 is a beautiful day…and now it’s day 7…a week!
a full week…does it feel glorious? it is.
I’m glad you have a blog to write in, doesn’t matter what you write…just get it out.
And I will ALWAYS suggest finding others in real life, to help you along. Because online support is great util it isn’t, until you need help NOW…then you need a phone # or a meeting to escape to.
I don’t know if you have given AA a try…I’d suggest that first, but sometimes there are other support groups around There is nothing like sitting in a real live room with people and nodding your head…yes, i did that, yes, i get that!
a week is wonderful…so happy for you

Hi, thanks for your lovely supportive comment. Yes it’s feeling pretty good at the moment 🙂 I haven’t tried any meetings but I am considering it. I’ve identified a few possibilities and may go there when I run into difficulties. Where did your blog go? I can’t find anything there…

Dear TOTW,
First of all, Happy DY 6!
Having to work at nights would be hard.

Thanks Wendy, I’ve always been a night owl but even so, it can be hard sometimes. Still easier than getting to work at 9am for me though… x

Funny you say that!
I am a night owl too, but teaching forced me to say hours.
Now I’m going back to my natural night owl which is hard as hubs is a big lark!!
Lol

I’m guess I’m lucky that my fella works evenings and nights too so the whole house is on topsy turvy time, apart from the cat, it’s probably fairly natural for her 🙂 x
