What is something that gets you up in the morning? that thing that keeps your chin up, and pushes you to take that step forward towards your destiny?
i think we all have probably felt a lot of tension from all sorts of places, so I'm curious as to what you are looking forward to, or a goal you are striving for?
also feel free to share some music that makes you feel upbeat or pumped ^_^

Usually I need to pee, or I'm choking on my own fluids, or it's the nightmares.

Eh, I actually like my life. My boss lets me pick my hours, he's cool about me calling off with no warning when I need to. I get to teach maths to kids, my wife is chasing her passion of jewelry making, and I am running a delightfully creative and successful DnD campaign.
I guess I'd like to learn higher maths, maybe improve my chess elo or get stronger at Go. I'd like to travel the world.
I haven't got much to complain about. Life gets me up.

The eternal hope that I'll get a good night's sleep one of these nights. It wasn't last night but maybe next time, but now I've got some time to kill before the next attempt so let's go. Rinse and repeat. ...yeah idk, I don't have anything specific long term in view, I'm just taking things one day at a time at this stretch.
Upbeat music uh
How about this:

So today and tomorrow, we get to dress up for Halloween at the park! I did my Charlie Morningstar costume again, but I've already worked a lot this morning, and sweat has already messed up my makeup, so here's a picture before it gets all messed up :P
>>1178282That's fair! A good night sleep is a godsend at times! And taking it one day at a time is all you can really do , so do it well!
I'm at work so I'll check the music out later!

I hope for a job I can go to that works for me that I enjoy and doesn't trigger anxiety or depression stuff, I hope to one day live with someone I care about and get out of my parent's house, I hope to finish at least one book and get it published.

>>1178312so i get off of work, and i get onto the highway to start driving home; i get to a stretch of highway that is 4 lanes; 2 in one direction; 2 in the other; and in the middle of it is a median lane to turn into other areas.
i'm currently in the right lane, going a comfortable speed with the person in front of me like a good 100 feet in front of me, so i'm just vibing and driving normal.
the person in front of me starts slowing down a bit for some reason, and i'm thinkin "are you turning or what?" but they don't throw the blinker on, so i can't make out their move.
so i start to do the sensible thing; throw on my blinker to turn into the right lane to pass this person.
I then start to move into the other lane when I notice in a fraction of a second, a fucking car driving the OPPOSITE way in the left lane!
I IMMEDIATELY turn back into the lane, just in time for this fucker to pass me, and i just look back wondering "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
If i was literally a second off, i would have collided head on with that person at 60 miles per hour, plus whatever the fuck speed they were going!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING HELL WERE YOU DOING?!?!
YOU HAVE 2 LANES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DRIVE ON!
YOU HAVE A MEDIAN LANE IF YOU FUCKING WANTED TO TURN!
YOU HAVE NO GODDAMNED EXCUSE TO NEARLY FUCKING PANCAKE THE BOTH OF US INTO PASTE ON THE ROAD! YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!!

>>1178319thanks! and damn did my adrenaline kick in after that!
today was already a weird ass day. work was weirdly conflict ridden (fortunately it didn't really affect me personally)
then as i was going to the parking lot, people were freaking out when a truck took out a "white sedan's" bumper off in the parking lot; that freaked me out cause that's what my car is.
fortunately, it was not my car; although i am bummed that it was somebody that i did know, and I really hope she can get it replaced
today was a day of close shaves, with the closest fucking shave at the end of the day!

Sobriety is an interesting life. Interesting that is plagued with moments of emptiness. Yet, with something lost comes something gained.
I'm funnier, more insightful, physically and mentally stronger than when I am drinking and abusing my body. Yet there are moments where my loneliness creeps up on me and it manifests through anger, self-loathing, and self-destructive behavior. Normally I would be drowning bottle-deep in a Handle of Vodka right about now, but instead I focused on my screaming muscles, did a few stretches, and had a conversation with myself. I asked what it was I was feeling and why I was starting to feel sad. My eyes started to grow moist, and I could feel the cortisol leaking from my body. Regret; loss; death; and the callous and defensive need to tell everyone around me to fuck off no longer fueled by alcohol. It was quite a lot; to feel vulnerable within my own mind with nobody else around.
And then.. I felt better.
I have hope.
