Hey guys,

My friend is spending the weekend with me, and we have a very big day planned today. Going to take her to my church, when I chair my AA meeting, then have lunch with the ladies afterwards. Then maybe go out to Selma for a big Recovery Alive meeting. Just bringing her into my world has been nice, and also having some sleep in the butterfly room makes my heart smile.

This sleep thing is bugging the crap out of me. I know some of you are struggling with it too. I am trying to keep "religious" conclusions out of this, but I keep waking up at 3am on the dot, and it's starting to scare me. It's just every night now, and then I'm tired all day and can't go back to sleep. Seeing pdoc later on this month to see if we can increase that hydroxyzine some, I am only on 25mg right now, and have been on that dose for almost 3 years now, so I am thinking maybe I need a little more to go along with my melatonin. That combo has always worked wonders for sleep, and I have had good luck with it.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! @raspberrytorte - I am worried about you girl; I hope you're going to see someone soon and I hope you really feel better. I know all about feeling bad about yourself when looking at past pictures and Facebook, but when it becomes your all-encompassing thoughts and you don't look at the present, it can be really hurtful. I do wish you the best and I do hope you are able to come out of it.

Big hugs to you who are struggling today
