Guilty as well. I wonder if all Type A's do this or at least fight the urge? The only time that it really bothers me is at hibachi restaurants when other customers are sitting in proximity and they leave their garbage, bowls and whatnot all over. I have been known to stack their bowls for them and clean the area around me.

I would imagine so. It someone doesn't bus the table and the next one to us doesn't have anyone seated I move all the dirty dishes over. I can't stand clutter in front of me.

My husband isn't type A so around the house I let him destroy the office to an extent and one area of the island. I used to pester him but realized the little things like this aren't worth it but on occasion I swipe everything into a big pile have a mini meltdown & move on lol.

Not sure how or when it started, but it's funny when my CDR calls me out on it from time to time.

Doesn't seem to really bother anyone though, so I guess no major pressure to end it.
The struggle is real. I can not talk on the phone without pacing. The more intense the worse I am with it. I'll even change levels in my house for no reason. My wife just smiles.

Good for you. Most people don't make it this far on their first attempt.

As for the sleep schedule....I'm the last person that could help you there as mine has always been jacked up!

Go Pickle go! Good for you man! I have no advice for you on sleep either. I'm lucky if I get 4-5 hours a night.

Great news on smoking. Keep it up!

For sleep, try keeping a fairly regular bedtime / wake up time, don’t nap during the day, avoid eating for a couple of hours before bedtime, keep phone and other electronics out of the bedroom (or at least off) and maybe a little light exercise before going to bed. If necessary, try some melatonin to get started on a schedule but I wouldn’t rely on it every night indefinitely.

I've noticed, in the past few weeks while working out at home, that I have a tendency to grind my teeth or do this weird under bite thing with my jaw during sets. I've never noticed myself doing it before, but now I notice it every time. God only knows how much of a fool I've made myself at the gym making stupid faces. I have to remedy this now before the gym opens back up. No one wants to be the crazy mouth guy.

I just re-read this and I'd like to make this publicly known that I am not an alcoholic, I just go out way too much when my friends are here and the state isn't locked down
