Welcome @Brettmans,
I see you just joined an hour ago and have not interacted on any thread except to promote a zoom meeting. I would highly caution our members (especially new members) to be cognizant of joining a meeting with someone they know nothing about. If I am mistaken about this, I will be glad.
@Brettmans, could you give us more information on your zoom meeting? Who is it with? AA? I see you are sober since October, that is great! Can you share a bit more about your self and your sobriety journey? Why you joined the forum? And why you are instantly promoting a zoom meeting? Just trying to get a sense for our members. We would love to get to know you a little. Thanks!!!

Hi . I live in Toronto, Canada. I’m and alcoholic and an addict. I’m 27 years old . I just graduated from a rehabilitation center called the Renascent here in canada . I’m trying to promote this zoom meeting because we need some more support. Me and a few other people are putting the meetings on for guys who are still in treatment. We simply just want more support.
I completely understand where you are coming from
Thanks

Okay, thank you for being forthcoming. I think it would make us all feel a little more comfortable if you interacted and hung out for awhile before posting zoom meeting links (additionally, dropping 4 links in quick succession is against the forum rules and considered spamming).
As you well know, when in early sobriety we are all very vulnerable and as moderators, part of our job is making sure Talking Sober is a safe place for all forum members.
So, welcome!! Hope to see you around! And thank you for getting back to me.

Good for you! An interesting assortment of foods…but no huge amount of each. Early sobriety can wreak havoc on your diet … but all for the good!

You are too kind Mbwoman (is that for MOTORBIKE,MELB.WOMAN??other)
I sure hope it settles down. I certainly don’t want to continue to be 80+kg, but l don’t want to give up my newfound sobriety to be thin.
It’s the 4 courses of antis that l have been on that has wreaked havoc on my body, truth be told. 
Thanks again for your advice!

Hi jbm, l feel personally responsible for the ‘pickle challenge’ mixup and the consequential move of our thread!
The ‘pickle movement’ all started with a response l posted about why alcoholics can’t moderate their drinking by liking it to a pickle not being able to change back into a cucumber !
(l got the quote from AA’s book Living Sober).
‘Cherry Kisses’ and l then started this silly little thing about pickles- we call each other pickles, we say we’re pickled, we talk about how much we love pickles; ‘Hoofhearted’ even wrote and composed a ‘Pickle Song ‘
for us!!
So, l guess it’s something we throw into our posts sometimes!
The mods have obviously seen something random and out of context, so moved the conversation here.
I only saw your post here, so not sure what it relates to? I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Some of us are doing a 30 Day Plank Challenge, so whether you got confused pickle with plank??!!
But l suppose we could do a ‘pickle challenge’? If you love them, maybe you could propose something?
Love to hear your ideas!!
