I find beer always has the opposite effect for me. I don't sleep as well after a couple of beers and end up waking up multiple times a night. I never drink enough to get piss drunk on the other hand. Anyway here is this week's results. Sunshine is go to bed in a dry diaper. Wake up dry. No Mark is I went to bed in a wet diaper. Maybe I wet the bed? Who really knows. Cloud days are going to bed in a dry diaper and waking up wet without recollection. The 7 and the 8 is probably wet nights considering what I did. I play Ice hockey with a bunch of guys who all played AAA and D1 college hockey back in the day. Loaded up on water and a beer. I always end up pissing my diaper before I go to bed. I can confidently say I'm a bed-wetter.

A memorable moment recently. I was out until 3am with a good friend. I got back home. It was late I was tired. I just wanted to crawl into bed with my gf and cuddle and sleep 😴. She would be livid if I didn't wear a diaper to bed. We just got a new mattress. I reluctantly strapped my diaper on and pulled up my plastic pants. I woke up in the morning thinking I was totally dry. However the wetness indicator was blue. Probably sweat. Took my diaper off for a shower and sure enough there was a yellow spot.

I have been tracking my bedwetting on a chart for a couple of months now. However I'm wondering if I should change what constitutes a rainy night on the chart. I know beyond a doubt I have some of those nights where I wet myself without waking. Sometimes I wakeup while peeing. Other times Im half asleep but let go and fall back asleep immediately. The later does not feel genuine and probably should not count towards the rainy day chart. However I've been counting since I started. The most frustrating thing about tracking bed wetting is I often get changed an hour before bedtime. Sometimes I end up using my diaper before I fall asleep. The constant mind game of is it wetter than before I went to bed is annoying. Its not always obvious. What constitutes a 🌧️ sticker on the chart for you?

The first time it happened she was very nice about it. We showered together took care of the sheets. There was always a basic mattress pad on the bed, so we just got back into bed. The second time the mattress pad leaked through. She was very upset. She never took it out on me, however the mood was there. By the end of the month. She required I buy and wear diapers. Not the pullup. She insisted the tab tape kind to make sure it didn't happen again. Within a month I was wearing diapers to bed every night. Not long after I added terry lined plastic pants. On the subject of the talk. It was very matter of fact conversation. She wanted to protect the bed. She wanted to get a full night's sleep. Hence the diapers. She chalked it all up to me being a heavy sleeper. Which I am. However, she wanted me to do an early physical exam with the doctor just to be sure. This is when she mentioned she wore goodnights until high school. That it's not a big deal to wear such a thing as a diaper.

I started this journey 10 months ago. Wanting to be in a wet diaper at night or have the bed be soaking wet with pee. I had no experience with bed-wetting. The last time having truly wet the bed. I was probably 5 or 6 years old. I accepted some of the challenges this would have in life. Having to always wear a diaper whenever asleep. Paying for supplies. Using ointment for rashes. Traveling with supplies. Family finding out. With years of never peeing in my sleep. I could not pee lying down. I started by laying in the bathtub and practicing there. I would do this everytime before I would shower. It was still incredibly difficult to drink a bunch of water before bed and wake up and let go. Now I did this once a week for a month. Naturally my partner was quite disappointed. My partner wore goodnights until 15 so she was understanding. She had a concerned talk with me. She was very supportive and encouraged me to get some diapers. She made sure I scheduled a doctor's appointment about it. I did both. The doctor visits was uneventful. "More people than you would think wet the bed" "do you want any drugs for it" Politely declined. With wearing diapers every night I tried to get in the habit of waking up and letting go. In order to achieve this new goal. I would stay well hydrated throughout the day. Then I would drink two pint glasses of water before bed. Sure enough most nights I would wake up and just let go before going back to sleep. Waking up and using my diaper lasted months. A few experiences have been. Being sick my significant other has changed me. I have spent holidays at her parents. Wearing a diaper to bed in the guest bedroom. Wore a diaper for road trips in case I took a nap in the car. Anytime I got cold feet about wearing to bed she would make me put a diaper on. Through all of this. Wetting myself laying in any position became as easy as walking. With months of no progress. I finally started to have the hazy memories of waking up and wetting. This progressed to a few pee dreams. One notable dream was I walked into the bedroom. Desperate to relieve myself. I took a diaper out of the drawer and put it on. Letting go I could feel the wet warmth and felt so relieved. I woke up that morning soaking wet. The pee dreams was incredibly short lived. I progressed to waking up soaked. Go to bed in a dry diaper and wake up in a soaked diaper. It's not every night. That's the next goal. However I can proudly say I'm a bed-wetter now. I would be worried about going to bed without one on at the moment.
