Sober Selfies #2

Congrats Dally!!:clap::clap::+1::+1:

Oh, and congrats on ur first post!

Keep staying strong, Casey!!:muscle:

Dude thatā€™s Iā€™ve of the biggest and best transformations I have seen on here. You should be happy and proud. Just donā€™t go so steroid head (Iā€™m not suggesting that you would use steroids!) On us. By this u mean getting totally obsessed with getting ripped, it can be incredibly unhealthy and bad for mental health. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

50 was a hard day for me. Keep pushing through. Day 90 was THE MOST EMOTIONAL DAY! I went through ALL THE EMOTIONS! i cried, i laughed, i was happy, i was sad, but most of all, my tears were of pure proudness in my journey! After I hit 100, i just felt like it FLEW by. Keep your head up. We are all here!

Hey thanks man, and I honestly couldnā€™t agree more. Itā€™s one of the first things I noticed when I first started working out. Is how exactly what you said, I became obsessed, weighing myself everyday, takin test boosters and everything. And when I would drink on top of that, I noticed how mentally I wasnā€™t doing ok. The alcohol on top of trying to work out was not good at all. My ego got the best of me and put me in to a deeper depression, and I was very arrogant and thought I was better then everyone. But now that Iā€™m sobered up, Iā€™m much more clear headed about it. Iā€™m very cautious, sometimes I still go to the extreme and donā€™t take days off but thatā€™s bc of this quarantine, itā€™s definitely my new love. But Iā€™m not obsessed with getting ripped, I just want to stay as healthy as possible, and give my girls someone to look up to. I really just do it for my self now, while before I was doing it to try and impress ppl and in my mind was oh look Iā€™m better then you. But definitely not thinking like that now, I do hope I can give some friends someone to look up to, too. Bc Iā€™ve literally never had anyone look up to me. I mean, 3 dwis. Drinking since I was 15 and was literally known as the coke head of my hometown who lost everything. Everyone thought I was a loser, ppl literally wonā€™t even talk to me now bc of my past. So I geuss what Iā€™m hoping by working out this hard and doing this is that I can show ppl that anyone can change and get back on the right path. Thank you for expressing youā€™re concern bc it definitely was the road I was going down at first.

Thank you, that was my biggest problem in all my attempts of getting sober, was oh I got this. I donā€™t need anyone, I can do it on my own. I personally donā€™t think I would be this far right now if I didnā€™t join this community. You all have helped me more then you know.

Great job Mike in recognizing this behavior in yourself. Being honest with ourselves is one of the hardest things to learn. You are doing great. Keep it going!!

67 is awesome! So happy for you. The first 90 were horrible for me. But when you start getting into the triple digits it just gets easier. It did for me anyway. Keep the good fight, weā€™re all in this together :v:

stay strong you will often have those days but everytime you get in bed at the end of the day your gonna wake up a little bit prouder, a little bit stronger and a little bit wiser, which is better than waking up feeling a whole lot shitter. Your doing so well, keep it up.
