That sounds very painfull :astonished:
Hope you get some rest :heart:

Thanks. It is quite shockingly painful in the moment.
I dislocated my shoulder really badly about 10 years ago. Suddenly, this past year or so it’s just been randomly popping out, most often while sleeping.

Have you seen the doctor for it? Maybe he can be of help?

@KevinesKay congratulations !!! You are doing great my friend!
Today 12 days sober for myself. Finally I am in Fatima and I feel blessed. Praying for all of you

Not yet. We’re uninsured so I am lucky if we can afford to tackle one problem at a time, and that’s been getting temporary relief for my knee currently so I can walk.
I have several overuse issues from decades of sportiness, and some skin issues from decades of sportiness in the Florida sun. It all comes to roost when you get old like me. :sweat_smile:

Ha ha, how old are you if I may ask?
I’m waiting in a big line to get my blood checked. Boring…


Thought it was a quick visit before heading to the gym. Boy how I was wrong! :astonished:

I’m 51 by the way, but very lucky to be in great health. Just got my vitamin B12 and so checked because of not eating animal products. I hope you can catch some sleep? Not with me rambling here maybe? :joy:

Day 70. My one day weekend today yay! Did get to sleep in a bit. And started a week long blood pressure measurement. Asked my family doctor for this 3 months ago and had to wait for the machine. I had high BP for years, and never did something about it, but since I quit drinking it seems back to about normal. Still a good idea to have an official result. And probably a good moment to talk to the doc about my sobriety too. @SoberWalker love your numbers! Have a good sober day all. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 17. Feeling healthy. I’ve lost about 10kg in 2 months. Thanks to the gym. Today I managed to wear an old pair of trousers which I couldn’t wear for the past few years. It fitted me perfectly. Small victory for today :v:

Opened reddit this morning to a new, popular AskReddit thread:

My go-to is the simple, no bullshit way: “I don’t drink”, but some of the answers may be useful for some, and some are quite humurous. My favorite:
