    @onsickmom , here's the link to the Motivation and support area. Just click on "create", decide on the title, like "Sober Support group, come join" or something, then type out in the body of it your intention and click post! You will need to link the group though so people can find it (right click and copy the address of your group before you create your post, then just paste it in to the body of your post). Good luck!

    I was on water pills for having high blood pressure - regularly around 160/90. My last three BP readings have been low since I stopped drinking (and quit my BP pills simultaneously). Yesterday I was 92/64 and the doctor had to read my chart twice and clarify that I had high BP just a few months ago.
    That's fantastic news! @Queenmunchy

    I failed at my attempt to copy paste???? I'm lost. Oh well...is what it is...I guess cause I can't right click on the tablet.?? Today wasn't as bad for me....Had a couple episodes...I was able to work thru them..I walked in the cold air and it set me free!!!! I've always hated the cold....Not today!!!! I embraced it...Felt good to just be outside alone!!!! One with nature!!! For a few minutes I forgot my worries... My feet and hands were numb with bitter temperature's....But my mind was awake and happy!!!!! Was so nice!!!! Tonight I battle the dreaded anxiety of falling asleep and just wanna go outside in my sleeping bag and breath in the frosty air and forget my own brain......I'm not sure who started this group......I think monkey....But maybe change the month to December??? I don't wanna leave......Sober another day!!!!!!! Feeling!!!!!!

    I'll get on my lap top and create a post about your group. I don't know how to copy and paste from the address bar on the app either, maybe that's the issue. I can't change the title of this thread after the first hour I believe.

    @MonkeyMel21 thank you.....I will look for yours.....Cant have too much team rooting!!!!!! Go sober day again!!!! I will be so relieved when a full year has passed....Surely by then I will feel like new...Great news is today I pulled on a pair of jeans I wore last July....not this past one....the year before...Boy do they look silly...lol....out dated!!!!! But with my messed up blue hair I guess I looked pretty hip for an older gal....

    Hardest time will be the weekends? I would have thought Christmas, Boxing day and New Years Eve would have been the hardest days! December is possibly the worst month to give up, so I say the VERY BEST of luck to you! If you can keep it up Congratulations! you'll most definitely deserve it!

    @Santeham
    That's why we did November first, lol!! Most of us made exceptions for Thanksgiving. It's now rolled over in to December for a few members who want to keep it going.

    It's possible I may have miss-read the OP... Now being in December... and assuming the month you were giving up was... well you can see where I'm going with this.
    Anywho's Congratulations to everyone that made it!
