An ED is not the same as substance addiction. Compared to my disordered eating letting go off alcohol was peanuts. I don’t need alcohol to live. I need food to live though. So there will never be an all or nothing decision there. There won’t be an I am so done with this.
Baby steps we do. And acknowledging that we have a problem instead of living in denial is the most important step we, you! took.
The gym will hopefully be open today as well. So go for it.

Checking in and checking out.
Day 594 still sober and hangover free.
Day 6 no sugar.
Day 1 back at the fitness center and a short power walk. It felt great to be able to exercise again. And I took it easy so I don’t hurt myself. I’m getting to be a pro at starting over at the gym. Easy does it.
I love when those “sobriety elves” show up Margaret. I had a couple of them drop by today too.
@Irisees919 great victory 
Congratulations again grandpa and grandma
@Charlie_C you guys look so happy.
Good idea making better boundaries with your family Jen @Peace You got to do what it takes to protect your sobriety. Good for you to recognize this.
Staying sober is tough.
You are tougher

Day 116.
4.29pm.
Had a lovely day out walking today. It is 18 degrees and warm. The winter freeze is slowly melting away. The lake is coming alive with all the birds and ducks all frolicking and playing. Its so beautiful of a morning out there
Lockdown makes you do questionable things… Today I spent $160 on bougie hair products online 
FML evidently making questionable choices is a common theme in my life 
I feel good today tho

And very grateful to you all here, working together towards a better future for all of us. So much love and so much wisdom and so much stuff I learn from you and recognize from myself. have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
That’s beautiful and uplifting @MagicILY. Happy for you. Thanks for sharing. @Its_me_Stella My history is not quite the same but damned it’s recognizable. And I’m very lucky never to have contracted HIV either. Hugs. @OldDogNewTricks Keep kicking butt Kai! Doing awesome.

Never snitched in my life, guess thats how much 2pac in me I’ve got, but still scnd guessing, couse he might get others who are more in harm’s way atm… but I warned him I’d app his filthy number to 5_o if I only see him arround my whole block… Mandatory !

Day 11 - I know that I drank because I’m a drunk and each of these eleven sober days has reminded me of the constant internal dialog that kept me drinking. Forever the victim: work sucked, drank; car broke, drank; need root canal, drank; house repairs, drank; caregiver pressures, drank. For today I’m changing the dialogue. Grateful for my job. Grateful for my car. Grateful for my dentist and my teeth. Grateful for my house. Grateful for the ability to take care of my mom in my own home. Grateful for not being hungover and to see that I am a drunk who needs sobriety.
