Soooo friggin proud of you!!!
I am happy you are here too! I feel you on everything you saidā¦ the avoiding people and places that would be a trigger can feel isolating but you are so rightā¦ a life without hangovers and anxiety makes everything worth it!! Ive found that recently I have started to attract more sober people into my life! Took a while. But as we keep building this sober life I like to think that it keeps getting better and better. Its been a pleasure watching you succeed!

Day 164 Not much to report here. Back to the real world. I was walking around like a cripple yesterday because apparently I am getting too old for airplanes. 
My back was KILLIN me! LOL It hurt so bad I went down for a nap at 5 when my daughter went to sleep and now I just woke up at 2am. Idk if I should start my day or what?? At least my back feels a lot better. Maybe I will do some yoga or somethingā¦ have a great day everyone!
Oh man @Mephistopheles that is some deep shit right there!! I pray he decides to take his life back. You are an amazing soul for seeing him reaching out to you and for trying to help him. I just pray he decides to help himself.
@Rockstar24777 Glad youāre feelin better! Ive been missin ya!

Hi everyone. Day 2 here. Iām 25 and itās my first time really trying to kick alcohol. I really need to get myself together because I need pretty major surgery on the 20th. I had an unrelated back surgery in October so that kept me sober awhile but then I decided to have a few drinks to ease the stress of the election and it was a very slippery slope. Iāve finally come to a point where I realize that my mental and physical health depend on getting sober.
Anyways, didnāt sleep a wink last night. Canāt seem to shut my brain off. Otherwise doing okay. Looking forward to checking in tomorrow.

Day 17. Trying to mend my life. I downloaded a home workouts app and started a 30 day challenge. It was difficult but it felt great. I have not exercised in such a long time, longer than I can remember.
Talked with my mom. Just random stuff. I have had a very difficult relationship with her. I went through a lot of abuse when I was a kid. I have a lot of resentment towards her but I keep telling myself that the past is history. We have had many fights recently - even the police got involved. She lives downstairs in the same building, so it makes things complicated. I have started talking with her. Just generic stuff. Also helped her with some gardening. Trying to mend bridges.
I plan to go for an evening walk. I am trying to stick to a minimum of 10000 steps a day. I have managed to cross 10000 steps for the last 5 days. I enjoy the walks. I usually listen to audiobooks while walking. There are so many things in my neighborhood that I never noticed before. Itās like a mini adventure every day.
Watched a couple of episodes of āThe Boysā season 2 (season 1 was better). I feel great. I wish I had done this 10 years ago.
The cravings come and go. Whenever I see a wine shop while I am out for my walk or see someone on TV drinking, I feel the urge rise within me. I just try to think of something else. I try telling myself it is not worth it.
The mood swings are still there. The meds are helping but being a recovering addict, alcoholic and bipolar all at the same time is difficult. trying to keep myself busy as much as possible.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading. Everyone on this forum has been super supportive. Thanks for that. Itās been a huge help for me. I know I am not alone.

Age is no barrier, we have a guy in the rooms who came in at 75, he has just hit a year sober, Iām not sure I would have even lived that long! Great to see see him change as he was using a cane and struggled with walking and now heās got rid of the cane and walk with ease

Checking in sober day 7. Last evening no running for me, because I was simply to tired. Instead of run I decide to take long hot shower, then reading TS, some meditation and good night sleep. This morningā¦5 km easy run and 30 min strength training. Now itās 12:57 pm here, we have some shy sun and I feel fine.
Have a nice and calm day everyone.
