Yes! I recently started Tumo breathing, it’s been a revelation, along with a cold shower. Ok tepid shower but I’m working up to it!

I love cold showers. Been doing them daily now for a few months. My gym has ice cold water so it’s a real wake up. A nice jolt for the body

Day 4 no binge-eating
Day 77 no vaping
Spring means migraines for me so I’ve been dealing with on and off migraine all week. Haven’t made it to the gym but I managed to do some home workouts when the pain isn’t so bad.
Been doing okay in terms of mental health & binge-eating. Still need to find a therapist. In the meantime, I moved some of my exercise equipment in front of the TV and that’s been a huge help!

I’m doing contrast at the moment, warm, tepid, warm, cold(er) and it really feels great after, I can’t explain the sensation but it’s like my mind is still for a few minutes. Not sure I can just step into a cold shower yet though!

A good therapist is hard to come by I’ve found. Well done on the sobriety days though

This is how I do it too. A warm shower that finishes with cold. The warm helps open up and clean the pores and then the cold shocks them close. It also helps keep the skin tight and body healthy. Great work with your tepid to cold showers

Ah nice, I thought possibly I need to build up to just a full on cold shower. Starting warm and finishing cold makes sense the way you described in that case! Just need to lean into it a bit more now.

@Mobius @JazzyS I used to do cold showers after a warm one and stopped. Thank you for reminding me to do this again!

Checking in on Day 147
Feeling a bit overwhelmed today at work as a try to make sure everything is in order for our second quarter audit with head office tomorrow. Trying to pause and take some big deep breaths between tasks as I go. On a plus side the desire to drink isn’t really there by I just want this week to be done already.i hope everyone has a good day today. Stay safe and sober everyone.

No worries, your sobriety muscles gained strength even in that adverse situation.

Day 190
Hello folks. I’m siting down in my noon mtg. The weather sucks but good for my garden. I have a bunch of things to complain about today. I’m not going to do it. I’ve been sober for 190 days !!! The best part it of it…., 190 days in a row 
I asked for help this morning to not pick up a drink and I found a mtg. The most important parts of my day are accomplished. I hope everyone makes progress today. Not every swing is a home run. Just stay in the game. Strength and vigilance

Day 109
I’m so behind on reading the check ins. I was actually really down and I was kinda hiding in the house from the world with the lights off for the past couple of days but it’s over now and I’m back to life and responsibilities. I’m fine now. Today I went to the gym, then I did some grocery shopping and now after I write this I’ll have to finish my work that’s due tomorrow morning which means I’ll be up all night but it’s fine. I’ll let the old Sherlock Holmes episodes play in the background while I work. That’s all I have to report for today. I’ll catch up here tomorrow evening 
Have a great sober day/night everyone 
you’re awesome
