Making abstinence a priority today and grateful for the step one admission of powerlessness, step 2 asking for sanity from a Greater Power, step three turning this day around by just doing the next right thing and not worrying about the results, thats all in another realm.2

Gratitude for the sanity of this life of reliance on the Power Greater than myself.1

Checking in at the end of an abstinent day, so grateful that I have been relieved from the torturous urges to eat compulsively.
Happy Christmas to all who celebrate!0 -

Our abstinent plan is very similar (aside from 3-0-1), congrats on your continued abstinence! I recently recommitted and on day 7.BrakemanSlova wrote: »Hi! 5 weeks of abstinence today. 301 plan and no sugar, flour, diet soda, alcohol (omg), and a low carb primal-type diet1 -
Its not a part of my abstinence, but I also don't take alcohol or sodas. Diet anything gives me headaches... so, no way. @BrakemanSlova, good to have you checking in and sharing your experience with the one day at a time program! and congratylations @GrokRockStar ! week one is a real hurdle in my experience, good you are getting health back as well! I don't remember the last time I had sugar in anything, and I think last summer I caved into bread for a couple of days though. Any way, abstinence works to stop coe for me, and thats an important thing here. 2

With everyone here for another day of abstinent living p, sanity and freedom.1

Joining you here, pledging my commitment to my abstinence today. Grateful!2

It’s been a couple years since I ate compulsively, which is how I’ve defined my abstinence. Ive also added on (recently) abstaining from foods that hinder my blood sugar, so I imagine that my abstinence will evolve over time, as some foods that are not a trigger for me causes my blood sugar to spike.
Thanks @Gamliela for your insight and support!!3 -
@GrokRockStar How are you determining what causes your blood sugar to spike? Are you using a glucose monitor? Or reactions? I'd love to know!0

Good day everybody, I'm pledging my abstinence today, grateful for the opportunity of accountablility for getting over rough times and to show up and share. Sanity and freedom from coe are worth it!0

Yes, I use a glucometer and check fasting and after meals, so I check about 4 times per day.1 -
