Day 536

No cravings for alcohol, but relationship with food just awful, I hate it. I can’t believe I am back here again, and unlike a hangover I can’t reverse the effects of binge-eating in a few days. I almost miss the regular hangovers that made me puke and then off my food for days after. At least they helped keep the weight down.

Day 1182 and I already learned something. I decided to run a bit. I was scared a bit if my joint would be hurting again, more. I started running and decided, fuck, if I am not about to train for this half marathon then I can also run uphill an then in the woods. And miracle, after dying the staircases and steep uphill,in the woods, the soft underground was so good. I forgot that tarmac besides being boring is not good for my feet. So, maybe I find something different. No half marathon but enjoy running. We will see how my joint will do tomorrow.

I am sorry you are there again, Fleur. I can relate to this. It is such a thin line and we have to be vigilant, feeling boredom, self-hate, being a loser, not being enough are my favourite states of mind I like to ‘cure’ with food, filling a hole inside of me. And having control, well the feeling of control over my body. It’s like drinking a shortcut that leads nowhere. You are not alone!

Hi Kat here a 0450 checking in, got my 8-year-old with me and boy is he awake early lol.

It’s Day 178 almost forgot!

Had a good meeting last night via Zoom we discussed Step 1 and I was really feeling the first word which is ‘We.’ I allowed myself to feel connected to my sponsor, the people at the meeting, and all the addicts in the world especially those fighting to recover…I am Not doing this alone! This forum has been huge for me too.

I don’t want to ever go back to active addiction not even 1 drug or 1 drink. It’s not worth it. This is a new life, a new hope, a new chance!

Wish you all a clean and sober and happy 24!

@WCan great post and huge congratulations on 500 days :clap:
@SoberWalker beautiful and grand room for a special day, not long now very exciting
@apes2020 love the upcoming positive things you have put in place :sparkles:

Had a lazy morning so far, better get my butt in gear, got housework and van to clean as booked next Monday off and off to the coast for 3 days, can’t wait. Seem to lack motivation and energy to get things done, could easily read and procasinate all day but be annoyed with myself. So up I get.

Have a strong 24 hrs all :green_heart:

Day 27. Work has made me irritable this week which has cause my brain to want to drink as a “solution”. I feel pissed off at the world and pissed that I can’t drink moderately. I haven’t though, I’ve focused on the negatives of drinking and have stayed away thank God. Hopefully the weekend will be a nice reset mentally for me. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
