I’m sorry things are hard for you.
But you know there’s also such a thing as eating to few calories.
A calories deficit can be good to loose weight, but if you’re to low the body just stores whatever you eat because it thinks you’re starving.
And if you also do a lit of exercise on top of that the body needs the energy it’s storing.
I’m not an expert but it can be a reason.
So you might want to adjust that and give it another try.
Don’t know about the blood pressure since I have 0 medical education. (I’m an archaeologist but that won’t be helpful today )
Checking in 15 Days. Feeling tired. I have been working a lot because there is too much to get done at the job. I just want things to slow down a little. I think its going to be a few months before that happens. But I don’t think I will have to be working overtime as much as I am after the next few weeks. Trying to maintain peace. one day at a time.
Yeah, both of the extremes are no fun but tbh I’d take mine over yours The older I get, the harder it is to cool down. We get a couple weeks in the summer like that and I don’t have AC! I layed in bed covered with frozen towels and ice packs! Someone just gave me an AC that I’m praying works for this summer Hope you get a break in your weather soon
Weight is one thing, but do you see some changes in the way your clothes fits? Maybe some inches less here and there? If you work out a lot, probably you gain muscle mass and lose some fat. Just a though. I dont have medical education too, but I’ve seen all episodes of House MD. Twice!
You are doing great, keep posting
Yesterday I started getting cravings for a drink around 3pm. I seriously considered going for ‘one’ but then logged on here and read a few posts about how one is never just one and that REALLY helped! I managed to keep busy after that and had a bath around 8pm and didn’t think about drinking afterwards which was good.
I’m expecting the same thoughts to creep in this evening again but I’m prepared to stay strong!
I’ve been in hospital 5 times over the last 8 weeks for detox, with the last one very nearly ending me.
The weekdays were going fine, but then I started to just drink a week’s+ worth over the weekend instead.
I’ve been flagged up by the hospital as extremely high risk for further damage/harm, so I have another meeting tomorrow to discuss further support.
I’ve built up such a good relationship with my current support worker, I’m terrified of losing her. I cried my eyes out today in our meeting, as if I’m transferred, she’ll go. She told me that if this is my last relapse, she’ll stay, but that I need to show improvement, and fast. She’s asked me to go round the local shops/pubs and tell them not to serve me, but I’m embarrassed about that so I’ll need to find a way to navigate to a point where I feel strong enough to do that.
So. This is it. This is really it. All my cards are cancelled, I have no cash, I’ve given my ID to family for safekeeping, and I am going to fucking do this, no matter how hard it gets.
Well done you! In my first few days, I thought I could handle “just the one” - please, please, please don’t.
Everyone told me not to and I thought I knew better - I didn’t, and now I have permanent liver damage and multiple severe relapses under my belt.
Keep it up.
Made it to day three. No longer feeling dizzy. But, i certainly didnt sleep well last night. I couldnt stay asleep. Always have dreams/nightmares. Even if its not bad dreams. Sometimes they are just stressful. I caught myself thinking about drinking again. I then decided to do something ive been putting off. Was just fixing my sisters tablet she keeps breaking in one way or another. Took me about an hour and a half to do that. Luckily i forgot about it after i was done with that. Here is to day number three. I almost forgot to open the app in today and check in. Appreciate all the love from everyone.
Hey you’re doing a great job. First week is always rough the cravings the desire for ur addiction. But I want you to know ur doing great man. I’m sure that table is better than brand new. Do things to keep you busy and try to listen to some music to help you sleep. Good luck man hope to see you tm
Hi folks, checking in on day 498 alcohol free. I think I said 497 a couple of days ago but I think I was a day ahead of myself.
Had minor back surgery on Friday to try and alleviate some nerve-related discomfort. I’m still bruised / stiff / tender but hopefully I’ll get some relief in the coming days.
Looking forward to the big 500. What should I do to celebrate?
Checking in on day…
…
306 no alcohol
237 no vapes or ciggs
108 no thc
I came so close to slamming my finger in the car door. It was a good reason to keep an eye out so i dont make stupid mistakes today. I got to wake up… clocks went ahead for daylight savings the other day and im still adjusting to waking up.
Im 3.37 days no cbd
Im not really keeping an eye on that. Just glancing at it every now and then
Still want to put it down though
I completely let my routine and focus on sobriety slide in favor of work. Recovery either comes first, or I don’t make it. This time I’m putting it first and will get to see the difference soon enough
Morning guys! Today is day 168 af. Just chilling and bouncing around here! which I love. Didn’t go to the pool this morning. Too cold out. So waiting to leave to go to a meeting.
It’s 24 degrees this morning going up to 60 today. Think it’s a good day to grill a steak. Have a good day all!

. Try and turn the day around, it’s still early 
The older I get, the harder it is to cool down. We get a couple weeks in the summer like that and I don’t have AC! I layed in bed covered with frozen towels and ice packs! Someone just gave me an AC that I’m praying works for this summer 
Hope you get a break in your weather soon
