And those burpees, that’s where you drink as much seltzer water as you can, right?

Day 23, rest day.

Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me.

And about that skipped day…

Hi you are all doing really well, im improving daily.
75 push ups 5 sets of 15 30 seconds between sets.
100 squats in 5 sets of 20 30 seconds between sets.
Then the following day I do
75 dips and 75 curls
I alternate my days and go to work on sober wobbly legs one day and aching arms and stomach the next.
Can feel a big improvement and im really enjoying getting my fitness back despite struggling this week to stay sober which i have really worked hard on and feel great for maintaining being alcohol free.
Working on my fitness is giving me the confidence to continue working hard on being sober.

That’s great!! Will you be joining us for the October challenge?

Yes, definitely and looking forward to it.
I will be doing my exercises after work when I would normally start drinking in the pub.
How do you feel after a year being sober?

It actually doesn’t feel that different. Reminds me of a birthday. I always get super excited leading up to the day but then it just feels like another day lol

Essentially thats what it is I guess, a measure of how far you have come in a year, a time to reflect and also a time to remind yourself that your still going. A huge achievement :+1:. Im like that each day :rofl::upside_down_face:
