Checking in. Or checking out I guess.
Day 409 here.
I didn’t drink today. And guess what?? I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
However. I been checking in a lot at the weight loss thread. And just started checking in on the Binge eating thread. I’ve always had an issue with food. It loves me and I love it. I think I kind of binge ate my lunch today. I know I did. I made a big plate of food and cleaned my plate. I never waste food. I Felt horrible physically and mentally for about 4 hours after. Super bowl Sunday we didn’t have any snacks or chips and dips. I Thought that was good. But I polished off a wagon full of ribs. I love to cook. I love to eat. I lost 50-60 pounds since I started my sober weight loss journey. I’ve gained back just under 15 pounds but I am still under my goal weight. I’m terrified I’m gonna gain it all back again. I feel I need to work on my eating habits. I wouldn’t classify it as an eating disorder. Or should I? I don’t know. I mean it’s not like a bulimia thing or anorexia. But I do feel like I am not in control when I’m eating sometimes.
So other than that not much going on in my lovely world of isolation up in the mountains of Flagstaff all alone with my wife and pets waiting for this pandemic to fuck right off.
I’m so fucking grateful I’m sober.
- Sober. I did a lot of my will stuff and not so much thy will stuff. I cooked some heart shaped pancakes, read a book. cleaned a messy room, did chores, tackled some mini projects I’d been ignoring, did some yoga and then cooked dinner for the fam. I have the day off tomorrow so I’ll try to keep battling the cabin fever as I pray for this cold snap to end soon.
515 Days. I’m conditioned to not expect anything for holidays and birthdays so I’m not let down. I was quite surprised by my hubby for Valentines day. He got me a beautiful card and made a nice dinner. I’ve seen so many positive changes with his sobriety. I really lost hope that he wasn’t going to change and I was preparing to be single. Now I’m happy I didn’t give up too soon.
What a long tough winter. It’s been very cold and snowing every few days. Our furnace stopped working tonight. Hubby tried everything he could to fix it and discovered the guage on the oil tank is broke and we ran out of oil. We have a wood fire place but all the wood is buried under the snow. Bundling up for a long cold night and hopefully we can get an emergency oil delivery first thing in the morning. The thought of alcohol to warm me up did cross my mind. It was only a thought and I don’t have to react to thoughts. It passed very quickly knowing I no longer drink.
Hey Lisa. It warms my heart to read about your husband. I’m so happy for ya.
Good luck with the furnace.
I can relate. Lost over 30 pounds last year, but put 10 back on again recently. Combination of lockdown and distraction eating, and as my cravings get worse so does my eating. Hurry up end of lockdown, at least then I can start burning it off again 
Day 121 no meth. Uncharted Territory from here on out. And to be frank, my cravings for meth sex are greater than ever. So impressed by all the big numbers people have on here. Kudos to you, this is no easy ride.
861 days without alcohol, 23 days without cigs, 4 days without coffee. My teenager says I’m specialised in quitting 
Thank you, Eric. Seeing his relationship with our daughter warms my heart. She was miserable and despised him. Now they’re best buddies, spending so much quality time together. My little family is back together.
I can’t do that Conor, I love my country. I am my country, so it would be quitting me 
on the other hand, I’d need a vacation from myself…
Not saying Ireland isn’t the second best choice 
Good to hear you’re ok. Gotta go and meditate now. Have a great Monday!
- Coffee. It’s raining and rather miserable outside. I got some time till my second shifts starts. It’ll be OK. I’ll be OK. I’m sober and clean and that’s the base for all the rest. Just two shifts and it’ll be my 5 day weekend. Going to take my road bike to the bike shop for service and dream of spring. Have a good week all, or at least as good as you all can. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.
I love this. I love how much more time and energy I have for my beautiful kids now. 
3 months sober today! New to this community and feeling happy to have found this app! Have a great day everyone
Hi, welcome and huge congrats on 3 months
I think you need to stop hanging put with people oh are drinking. You and them are on different chapters in your life. Why put yourself in that situation.
Spring !! Where do YOU live ?
It was -10C here a couple of days ago.
Day 45. Feeling down due to parenting challenges and mummy guilt about having to take control and be stricter. Its what’s needed given my son’s behaviour lately, but its hard. So happy to be sober
