Good afternoon. Shit… On a Saturday afternoon the cravings start earlier. WTF??? Just thought of fuck all this. I will not make this battle. Everyday the same shitty cravings. Fuck man… I don’t want this anymore. But instead of drinking I’m coming here. But still not happy. Just hate myself how I feel.

The cravings are just that old wolf knocking on your mind’s door. Tell him to fuck off! That’s what I tell my wolf, anyway…

Don’t hate yourself love! This is totally normal and i know the battle seems exhausting now but believe me it does not last. Each time you say Fuck Off - you get stronger and take a chunk out of that addiction.
Happy Saturday my lovely friend - you are strong and beautiful and sobriety looks amazing on you! So many more possibilities and so much more fucking time / money being sober - You have it in you to keep fighting for yourself.
Grateful you came here when you felt like shit - we are all here for you. Hope you are able to turn those feelings around. Play some tunes, listen to some comedy, dance like no one’s around, scream loudly – just let it all out and have a blast.
much love my friend -

Hey girl …it will get easier…pat yourself on the back and give yourself a hug from me…another day licked. You are impressive.
Try some positive affirmations when you wake up to start off the day. Possibly do some positive meditations to help sleep tonight.
Either way- super proud of your effort and big hugs from me.

Well done getting through the weekend Julia! It was really hot here too and the next 10 days it will be over 100°F most every day. I am weary. But seeing everyone encourage each other and not give up does help.
Night #3 I’m in bed without a snack. Praying in can make it to morning without eating.

I’ve put on over 2 stone in recovery, it’s OK at first as long as we don’t drink alcohol isn’t it but then it starts not to be OK. I’ve tweaked a few things here and there with my diet and have taken up swimming (which I’m terrible at) but just like recovery it’s progress not perfection. Nice to see you kicking about on here with Julia, takes me back to the Waltons

@Dolse71 hi friend! 
I’m up about 2.5 stone since I quit drinking. I definitely have to make changes and take care of myself. Never thought I’d have this issue or that food would be so hard to have a healthy relationship with. I’m at risk for serious health problems if nothing changes. Good to see you here. I’ve missed you!

We should start a weekly weigh in thread and take a pic of the scales 
mine aren’t very accurate but it would encourage me all the same. Don’t care if it doesn’t go down quick as long as it doesn’t go up.

OK I’ve gotta go back to work, I work nights now. Chat soon.
I have a complicated relationship with the scale… Idk. I’ll have to think on that. At the moment I have some non scale goals I am aiming for. I want to walk a mile without being in pain. I want to fit in clothes I could wear earlier this year but are now too small. I want to lower my blood sugar and cholesterol. If I do all of those then I am on the right track. If I focus on a number on the scale, I will restrict to hit that number or binge if I don’t because it’s a lost cause since I’ve starved myself and it didn’t work so I may as well eat whatever the hell I want…etc. The mental gymnastics are exhausting when I involve the scale.
