One major symptom of Sobriety is my lack of Life Force which has become an obstacle to accomplishing chores and physical activity. I call it Life Force because this is different than physical strength or my desire to do things. It might be lack of sleep, poor nutrition, or an unknown cause that I need to discover.

I listened to another podcast of a guy sober from pot who laughed and giggled. It has been a long time since I have laughed.

Without alcohol or pot, my mind is more active and has a tendancy to race. Some might call this rumination. In the past, my over active mind has driven me to drink or drug. This time, I gently guided my thoughts to pleasant or neutral topics.

I have collected biometrics about myself and analyze how THC effects my sleep. Scientists say that quality sleep is essential for health yet most people, especially addicts, do not get enough.

I quit alcohol and switched to pot to get high. It seemed like a good idea at the time but then it resulted in me becoming addicted to something else. Substituting one drug for another has not been the best way to get sober.

I had a busy day running between meetings and working on a long list of tasks. My back cramped up and I was sighing a lot. Schedule adjustments are needed to maintain my Sobriety.

The literature guy and I have a strained relationship and are not communicating. I want to make ammends with him for the benifit of both of us and the group at large.

Yesterday, my tenant turned away the electrician because of their appearance. I think that was unfair and prejudiced which irritated me. Today, I went over there myself to let the elctricians into the unit so they could complete the job. I could have confronted the tenant about it but I chose not to.

Trying something new for the Complete Sobriety podcast by bringing on a guest. Sir Pas and I will talk about joy in our lives and how drugs have factored into our experience of joy.

SInce quitting marijuana, I have been losing weight. Today, I am happy to report that my weight has dropped below 200 pounds! While using THC, I snack and over-eat, and my weight changes over the past couple months clearly reflects that.
