@JazzyS …Enerex Serrapeptase, Trace Mineral Drops ( this is a must have), NAC ( N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) and Rosmarinus as well as a Zinc/B6 and Magnesium
These have made a HUGE difference with my inflammation. Will be seeing my Naturopath on the 23rd and if things change I will.ket you know.

@kareness Congrats on your new electric car – so exciting! Wishing you luck on operating the charging stations. I have heard that it doesn’t take long to charge so that is a bonus if it is true.
@kelsey55 welcome back Kelsey. I’m sorry about your recent relapse but grateful that you are back on the sobriety horse. Lean on this community – I have found the support here to be unmatched. Wishing you luck on your journey and hope to see you around.
I am with you on this today – I have been setting up hourly goals and so far have smashed em all with a bit extra. It feels good to not over task myself and take on what I can one hour at a time. I am glad you are feeling better and I do hope you have success tackling the day today 
@rob11 much love and strength your way Rob. Wishing you luck with your appointment today. Are you able to change out the re-integration office worker – explain that you would be more comfortable with a man. I’m sure they should understand and be able to accommodate.
@brokenwolf I’m sorry that live is still dealing you lemons my friend. Wishing you strength and love to get through these trying times. You are a strong compassionate man and I do hope you start receiving the love from life 
We are here for you my friend so do keep connected and hope that we can help ease some of your burdens.
@soberbilly Thanks friend You have transformed. Check out your healthier spiritually stable self. Keep fighting the good fight Billy! You are doing remarkably well! 
@rastana 40 days is awesome – way to talk yourself out of the cravings. Its ODAAT
@chuckie22 Oh thank you Charlie – A few I have not tried and will look into now. Appreciate the info and I do hope you are on the mend yourself.
Checking in on Monday morning -
I feel so tired (did not sleep well at all last night). This new head pain is kind of disturbing. I am used to the headaches which never go but now this extra bit is driving me crazy. I am going to make an appointment with my doctor and hoping that the Chinese herbalist works out too (my aunt just called and said he was not fruitful for her - i have to remember that each person is different).
I am pacing myself today and taking on only what i can handle and keeping in mind that i can leave the task in mid completion if i find myself overwhelmed.
It is a lovely sunny crisp fall day which i am in love with. Hoping to keep moving and make the most of it.
Have a bombfastic addiction free day you beautiful sober souls!!! Sending you all much love

I highly recommend the Trace Mineral Drops. It will rehydrate you( headaches) and replenish your minerals.
Made a huge difference for me.

I posted in the wrong thread this morning 
So this is kinda a repost now 
Day 380
Finally colder weather arrived in good old Germany 
Means I’ll sleep better and overall feel better.
For the…I lost count - time I uninstalled Twitter and TikTok. Goddamn how annoying is this?
I sleep better and feel way less anxious when not using those but still, it always gets me somehow.
It’s the same like with alcohol, I have to say no. I’m the one who repeatedly starts using those 2 again and again. It’s just a waste of time.
This morning the first thing that was on my mind was my phone…yeah…
I have several books, one is in my backpack now.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong 
PS
First day without social media is interesting 
While on lunch break I didn’t know what to do, so I grabbed the book I have in my backpack with me today and started to read. Going to do the same thing now on my way home and on the couch when home
PPS
I quit coffee cold turkey 
I read somewhere that it helps folks who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Felt calmer today, but this also is an effect of quitting socia media. Both can increase stress.

I’m doing the same, started again last week with 4 kg as well.
Next workout is tomorrow, today I’m sneezing like crazy. My boss too, we’re both allergic to something.
I hope to be able to handle the 8 kg soon again, it’s a great way to fight stress

Day 610
Having a super productive day today! Just the way i like it 
I went and did a grocery shop with the wagon (a whole 2 weeks worth of food) at 9am lol just got home and now going to hit the gym for an intense workout. Planning on having a nice salad for lunch and then will fold the clean clothes, wash dishes, and tidy up the floors. Would like to get a meditation in also and get back to that practice. Life is good today 
Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday

Meeting with my doctor went fine, nice to talk with someone who understands. After such a talk I feel all kinds of emotions. Especially when my relationship with my parents and brother is addressed and it was. Was planning for a meeting but it drained my energy like always. Gonna stay at home with the heater on and maybe watch the Dutch soccer team or dive into bed early.

Checking in: Day 1,850
I had a dream that I was drinking and ended up getting a DUI. It was a terrible dream because it created a domino effect where I quickly spiraled into addiction as a result.
I was glad to wake sober. I take these dreams as warnings: this is what will happen if you have only one drink. As long as I say no to the first drink, I’m in the clear.
Happy Monday gang.

Day 114, second check in. Watching lupin later on Netflix. Feeling ok. Taking it easy at the start of the week. Bought some t cut so i can polish some scratches out of my car. Trying to take more of a pride in things generally. Feel humble as i know how easy a relapse can happen…so I am mindful constantly

Day 730 AF
What’s up, gang.
Made it to 2 yrs sober, crazy. There was a time I couldn’t make it a few days without drinking.
I was only 4 months sober when I discovered this app. Fighting to beat my 6 months sobriety streak.
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your posts and stories. Especially to those who helped me get through some hard times. I couldn’t have done it without yall.
Went for a walk at the beach yesterday with the wifey. It was pretty chill. Enjoyed every minute.
No more bullshit, no more drama.
I hope you guys have a great day. Love yall

day 593 of no self harm
my friends are worried about me. they probably should be but I just can’t take myself seriously. I eat next to nothing, I’m almost never hungry. I just stopped caring. I feel resigned. like this is just how my life is meant to be

Nothing much to figure here out. Numbers above is my Alcohol Free days. Numbers below with the lock symbol is just personal countdown. About month and more ago there was more numbers below. Different counters for sugar detox and no smoking. I still try to quit smoking and watch my diet, but mostly focused for Alcohol Sobriety here atm.
About month and a half ago I talked on how I started to have dual feelings about Checking in thread and how I will try to be less active here on this thread. It was too much negativity from certain part of the community for me. I don’t want to talk about it.
I was thinking to leave, but I really like to check in and read Your stories. So I figured out a diferrent way of Checking in and saying whats important for me without saying much. I think creativity is a good way to express myself and it really helps me.
Anyway, my Alcohol Free days are always the first number above. It’s Day 18

Worked hard, went to the gym, cooked a nice tea.
Finished week 2 of the C25k now and I think it gets a bit harder from here on. My mood is good today, and Mondays were never a favourite, but got a couple of compliments on a teams call this am with my colleagues. It felt nice, I feel in control.
Here’s to another sober 24 all.
