@RosaCanDo Congratulations on the triple!
@cwak Yes, I struggle with food, exactly because of the reasons you describe. But I can entirely quit certain foods that are triggering for me, and eat other safe foods for nutrients.
@anon79808082 Totally understandable that u would have mixed feelings about this time of year. Hugs.
You are so loved, Momma Bear Donna!!! 
BTW, youāre WAYYYY too young to be MY momma, but maybe some of these other younguns here 
Iām not worried about you for a change 
Iām just telling you Iām getting close to death by chocolate. 
Coming up on a half a year! Life has been going well and I am happy to be heading into the holidays. The new job is great but has definitely kept me super busy for the last few months! I hope everyone is doing well and staying sober!
Thank you!
Checking in a little early today at 17 days 19 hrs and 40 minutesā¦had my first real test today. No one in my family knows I stopped drinking. I was at my parents and when I was leaving they gave me a goodie bag from my aunt and uncle bc I wonāt see them for Christmas. Got home and had some cute nick nacks, some candy, and 2 beers. Took em to the sink and dumped em. Surprisingly wasnt even tempted, but obviously wasnāt gonna keep em around lol. I was prob a little more proud of myself then I needed to be, but more than that I was grateful and thankful that I had the support from such a great group of people that got me here. Thank you all!
Get a straw. Nice big McDonalds straw. Cut in half. Suck on some good old fresh English air.
Well. Iām not worried for me. I quit drinkin this year and lost 50 pounds. Iām still under goal weight and plan on staying that way.
I still feel if we can stop drinkin then we can do anything.
amen to that, obviously it will come with a thick shake but itās baby steps 
746 days no marijuana.

183 days. Today Iām supposed to be celebrating my six months sobriety. Had some shopping and a dinner date planned kid less. Instead I find myself having packed up things and taken my dog to go stay at my sonās. I have tried to eat to only vomit. I have tried to sleep unsuccessfully. I feel like a zombie but Iām sober. One day at a time as you never know what the day can bring.
Only came on here quickly to check in and will check out the thread later. Right now Iām going to lick my wounds.
I feel you.
Iām pretty much have been calculating all my food on and off for awhile. My alcohol benders were occasions for me to slack on food restriction. I am working a lot on not going from the extreme to the other since September (and way before that, but now sober it help).
You know, I think itās all about the direction youāre walking to. I might be ordering food tonight because I donāt feel well and Iām sad and just feel like a potatoe - and thatās ok. Because, on the long run, I know Iām focusing on eating well and making good choices. Training multiple times a week, like you do, tracking the progress, etc., all signs that youāre heading in the right direction.
I red that here, from Kevin I think I forgot his nickname: Trajectory over position.
I like to remind me that my overall and bigger, more important choices are made for me to keep my head looking for growth and peace of mind. Doesnāt mean there will be no plateaus or backing up. And as long as I have sobriety I will always be in condition to stand to my true selfās choices.
On that note, tonight I skipped training and Iām about to eat some vegan burgers. A part of me feel like shit about it. But another one is pretty happy and canāt wait to watch some tv and turn off my head after that long day.
Oh no! That sounds like a bad derailment of your day!? Are you ok?
If you Google āquit drinking appā itās under there.
Checking in near the end of day 33.
Major holiday blues. Damn Covid 
Iām really not but I will be.
@anon79808082 WHOOP WHOOP 200 club look out for this kick ass chick. You have every right to feel and believe whatever you want about the holidays and donāt let anyone tell you otherwise. You are a beautiful woman & I appreciate your presence in my life. You & your son are in my thoughts and prayers.
@RosaCanDo Triple digits is fanfrickentabulous. I look forward to your posts daily. They are authentic and genuine and honest whether itās good or bad. I thank you for sharing your journey with me.

Thank you sweet lady! 
Sorry to hear - sending love & strength
Thanks so much. . .Iāll take anything I can get right now.
