Hey team. Just thought I haven’t checked in in a while and noticed when I logged in I’m back on 62 days 
yay. It flew by. Yes there have been temptations yes things have been rocky at times but by the grace of God here I am. Still trying to get my food under control. It’s much harder than drugs to be honest. U cut the dealers, drift from drug associates and avoid dangerous situation. But food is EVERYWHERE! The struggle is REAL. I think food is so difficult because everyone has to eat and cutting out smoking drinking drugs sex and all the other addictions I’ve forgotten about, has left me with comfort eating. I just have to refocus and accept it’s a real addiction and hard to control if I dont take it seriously. Anyway. Hope everyone is doing amazing! Much love and God Bless!

Hey @JT_Mills! I totally get what you mean. I feel like I am literally replacing drugs with food. I try to log what I eat but I feel sooooo guilty when I do. Typical avoidance Nd denial I recon! Lol
Right! Now I feel guilty about eating so much, especially sweets. Never had a sweet tooth, just a fruitfly. I can not stop eating. Pretty unsettling. 
Day 54 over Here. Currently I am at my grandmom and I Just love this awesome, wise women.
Have a good day everyone!

Quite good, am now quite comfortable with the routine , enjoying it really. Mistakes I made are haunting me but… One by one I’ll correct what I can and push forward ! We have awesome weather here so that’s a perk

I’ve made a lot of mistakes too but at the moment I’m trying to look on the bright side. That maybe all of this can get better, one day at a time. If I don’t drink I can save money and help my depression get better. Alcohol makes it so unbearable. And I can set simple goals for myself and achieve them. Little things will make this journey worth it.

I guess the If I don’t drink part is the most important thing ! Everything is easier to deal with sober. At this point I feel great , when I see my problems are not growing but steadily chipping away at them. I kinda remember the last time I was feeling this way and then all went to hell. But… Back at chipping again and hope stronger too.
It really is better to deal with stuff this way. I can think. I do think not mindlessly buzzing around .

I can already tell today is going to be one of those days where I’m going to get the urge to drink. I woke up and my stomach is in knots for some reason. I’m not sure why. With the holidays coming up and the stress at my job, its like I’m being set up for failure or something. But I want to work through it. I’m definitely going to check in here as often as I need. For now too, I’m going to a meeting. Hopefully that will help

Meetings are good. I’m closing on 3 full weeks. My body says - feel good. My brain say, deserve fun. I gotta remember what I am. No need to put that poison in my body- Lets do this. Have a good sober day.

It was good. I actually raised my hand and talked about what was going on the last few months. Its been kind of an overwhelming, depressing time. I want to feel better and be hopeful. I know that if I take easy and just take it one day at a time, it will get better. At least I hope it will.
