Day 94 Day 0

Somehow, the panic from feeling quite ill from eating too much just makes me eat more. Genuinely feeling a bit out of control and alarmed in that regard.

Great days, what are you eating, are you able to at least eat something healthy like fruit.

I am making regular food for the fam, so eating protein, veggies, etc, with them. But while kids are taking a break from homeschooling on their tablets, sneakily eating entire boxes of biscuits, mini cakes, etc, then having to go to the shop to replace them. It is ridiculous.

I am sorry, I know life is stressful right now. I am certainly having my own battles with food. Sending strength. :purple_heart:

aren’t we strange creatures, I do what you do but call it comfort food and until it shows on my body I’m probably gonna not worry about it, yet you feel guilt for eating it. What to do now?
Throw some fruit into the mix, eat some cereal, drink more water, Write a daily food planner with strict time for biscuits and stick to it. Eat breakfast lunch and dinner…
TBH I feel wrong telling you this, someone should be telling me :joy: :joy: :joy:. If you can achieve sobriety you can achieve anything.

2 weeks has been the longest I have ever gone without alcohol so I’m pretty excited for Tommorrow. Praying I can keep myself together moving forward.

I made it through sober. I fucking enjoyed that donut with the chocolate custard filling. Coulda done without the caffiene induced anxiety. I regret nothing.

It’s still going in the win column but it was a dirty win. Im gonna need a little help because the custard isn’t going to hold me together for very long.

I know, it sorta blew my mind. And it had a hole too so the custard was completely unexpected.

Smart move in turning then away Andi, that’s how you build up your sober muscles. I was about to say that it’s probably a wise move to avoid social outings for a while but with the current situation in the world you’ll not have much choice. 14 days is great bud, keep it up. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

The freaking caffeine thing…I love love love my frothy cup of coffee in the AM, but if I am not working out shortly after I cannot handle the caffeine…totally sucks.

Day 505. I’m tired, unmotivated, and frustrated. I’m also abruptly giving up caffeine and stressed about finances (I can make rent for April by not getting dental work done, but beyond that is uncertain). Not having a fun time.

At least I don’t have to figure out how to drink through this. Those logistics were such a pain even without a pandemic.

Sorry you’re feeling all these feelings right now. You’re not alone in that. The world is a bit upside down these days for sure. Hoping you get some peace and rest tonight & wake up feeling better tomorrow. It’s such a relief to not have to worry about where to get liquor right now! Even though liquor stores have been classified as “essential businesses” here where I live. Crazy.
