Mmmmm I still don’t think it was your fault. Leaving you there, regardless of the fact that you were responsible for your condition, is absolutely horrible. I could not do that to a stranger, let alone a friend. You deserve so much more than that. Was it annoying for that person, sure. But leaving someone in that highly dangerous situation is just wrong. You matter lady! Then, now, and always. :heartpulse: Sorry, that burned my butt. Something could have been attempted to get you home safely.

Yeah he was an ass. My husband chewed him out and we weren’t really friends after that happened. Thanks, lady, I appreciate you!

Do you have an Apple Watch? You can monitor your A-Fib on there. It’s only the equivalent of lead 1 on an ecg, but that detects A-Fib.

I’m learning how to read ECGs right now because I don’t have insurance and have 2 heart attacks in the books along with aortic dissection and unstable angina. I’m basically a cockroach, nothing kills me :woman_shrugging:

There are supplemental apps that monitor your heart 24/7 as well :slight_smile:

What a clear and reasonable outlook to counting days and taking one day sober at a time. Thank you for this! And good luck for today and every today hereafter

A second check in of the day to ask a question really to people on here.
Did you find your relationship with food changed in early days of sobriety? I feel my healthier habits slipping. I am snacking more. Craving sugary things (I know this can be an effect of stopping alcohol- but i guess I didn’t think I was consuming enough daily before I stopped for that the make an impact but perhaps I was wrong). Weekend treats are food based rather than alcohol based at the moment…which is fine. But I can feel myself binging snacks or eating for boredom. Did others feel this way?
I’m healthy and active and a little overeating isn’t a huge concern, but I’m not enjoying the feeling really.

Its Sunday. My favorite day. Feeling good. Just going to head out for my walk to get coffee and then fluff about at home today. Read, meditate, self care Sunday routine etc… Feeling good :tada:

Yes. I head way too much ice cream every night. Haven’t lost any weight because I am replacing the alcohol calories with ice cream. It’s a struggle for me right now. And I am not near as active as I should be.

@Beforemy30s…This :point_up: is the same for me. I try to get the healthier ice cream brands instead like halo top so at least it has protein.

I have a bunch of halo top in the freezer, but I cave and go for the good stuff. I really have to stop this bad habit, but at the same time, I am just so darned grateful to be sober.

Just going to slide in here on Day 365 :blush: so delighted with hitting 1 Year, feeling terrific. Absolutely delighted that alcohol isn’t the ruler of my free time anymore, been teaching my self to skip over the last two month and regularly skip to I hit 1000 calories around 1hrs 10mins lol no bad for a couple of years of 50 :joy: dropped over a stone in weight over that year. The plan is, just to embrace each day and build on this one day at a time, it’s not been easy by any stretch of the imagination so therefore I won’t be letting my guard down shall continue to fill my free time with anything I can too keep my mind otherwise occupied. Anybody out there working through the early gears of recovery - just let you know keep digging in, it is so worthwhile it is worth it and most importantly your worth it! Good luck. Have a nice night/day/morning where ever you are and thanks to everyone on here, you are all brilliant, your support shown on here to each other is tremendous, thanks and good night.
