I ate a pint of ice cream last night while watching “Hacked”. Great show. Will check out that documentary!

Good girl! :relaxed: I always intend on only eating a few spoonfuls because it’s so rich, but of course that never happens LOL :laughing:

Thank you! I’m ok I guess. Actually it was me who initiated this, he is not the kind of person who would easily make difficult steps, so I was better prepared for that. We won’t separate, we will stay together as friends. But it’s a big change, and a really tough one considering that we really love and care about each other.

What a double feeling that must be. Break up is hard :pensive: Take care of yourself. It’s needed.

Good morning! Last night marked 1 full week alcohol free! Still in some pain from surgery but thankfully recovery is going well. My focus has been on that, so seems easy not to drink. I worry a bit about how I’ll cope once my sister leaves. She’s been a huge help both in terms of my physical health and mental health.

Glad to be here today. Just stepping into day 4. 1st January exam done this morning out of 3. Very grateful of getting through this morning without too much anxiety. Anxiety is being a burden but I will accept it and do my best to just take it one day at a time and hope it eases with time :pray:

Day 146 and I’ve been deeply contemplative for the past couple days. I may have recently introduced too many new commitments for myself and I need to take a step back and regroup. I’ve noticed since becoming sober that it doesn’t take a whole lot to overwhelm me. Oh, I can go and do all day long if it’s for someone else, but I’m having a difficult time focusing on what I need just for me. I know I’m gonna get there. It’s just taking me a while to figure out what makes me click. :upside_down_face:

I started a thread back in October about our brains and recovery. I love learning and discussing this subject. I haven’t shared outside of that thread, but I wanted to put a link to my thoughts from yesterday. I hope it might be beneficial for some of y’all. :slightly_smiling_face::purple_heart:
