@racheir1116 I sympathize with you...When I put down the beer all my friends dissapear...And I'm kinda a loner of sorts too...I congratulate you on 45 days sober...That's wonderful !!!! Keep up the good work!!!! You may have to try a whole new game for finding friends...If I'm lonely I walk to the park and can usually find a woman with kids to talk too..I've made friends from there that didn't drink and are still my friends today... Although I'm not up for social activities too much!!!! It's my anxiety...I get on here..I have several GREAT FRIENDS on line...Some of the best ever in my life...ADA from the Netherlands...We send pictures back and fourth and currency....There money looks totally different than USA..We talk via face time...It works for me...Maybe even try a near by church...You will need the support thru this...I'm here for you...And I'm sure many others will be too...You are loved..Your sobriety counts!!!! Stay strong!!!! Sad your pal don't join you...That would be perfect!!!!!!1

I'm trying to figure out a class at the YMCA to take so maybe I can meet some people there. I figure if they're at the Y they already care about their health so that's a plus

@racheir1116 that's a great idea!!!!! I hope it works out for you.!!! We have a youth group building in my town but it's more of a drop off for the crack heads in this town...Just awful..I'm glad it's there so the kids at least get to eat and have adults who care ...Even if only a few hours a week...So how's your cravings going??? Are you getting them?? Your early in sobriety...I craved my first couple weeks then just now and then....Writing down any triggers helped..I could see and read it and know ....Ahhhh that's a trigger!!!!! That's why I'm having a crave....Hey whatever it takes right? Good luck at the Y.....0

I've been sober for about a week. I am planning on keeping it going. My birthday is on the 14th. I might have a drink then but will stay away from alcohol the rest of the time.

I don't think having a drink on your birthday or new year's is so bad for some...But I'd like to make a new way for ringing in a new year or birthday....Start it off feeling good.....Instead of recovering from a night of drinking....Of course I'm one who can't have one drink....One is two then ten then keeps going for months to years.....Chris if you have the willpower to just have one!!!!!!!0

I might not drink; it depends on what we do. He has big plans for us on Friday night1

I am proud of the way you get out of bed everyday, even when you don't want to. You are winning the battle and don't let anyone or anything get in your way!! I have had a crazy week. My daughter came in town with her baby and then we had a funeral to go to in Chicago, but today is calm, so life is good!!1
-
@blwelch1 I'm sorry you had to attend a funeral..That's always a sad day...I read the book every morning....Then if I need to I read it ten times...It seems to say exactly what I need that day!!!! I put the card on my shelf as a constant reminder of God's love and how he works thru others...I am doing OK sober...I still smoke and want to quit that too..I'm hesitant because of the anxiety....I hear it can cause insomnia too..I'm just starting to get into good sleeping patterns....I wanna quit but don't wanna go thru more misery during withdraw either...So for now I'm writing down each time I have one and am having one each hour...Hope tomorrow one every 2 hours and so on....To get nicotine levels down before I jump off...I'm still tapering the pain meds too!!!! That is tough!!!!I really wanna just be me !!!!! No compulsive behavior.....Cause that's what it is.... Compulsive behavior...I pray and watch TV to distract myself..Try to walk to bus stop every day to get my heart pumping..I have lost so much weight now I need clothes!!!!! Underwater fall off...I'm happy about it but can't afford to go buy just to buy again...Yardsales will kick I. Soon....I would rather buy 25 cent shorts and tanks for summer than spend a waste of money on new every other month....Still have over 20 lbs to go...And we all know them last pounds are the hardest to lose....I love you my friend!!!!! God worked thru you!!!!! You did me good..Much more than you will ever truely know!!!!!1

Congratulations on your 166 days! I am 26 years clean and sober. Now time to deal with food. I need to lose over 50 lbs now. Thinking the one day at a time way will work with food too. Have logged in and out of MFP for years now but just got blood work done and cholesterol is high and heart disease runs rampant in my family. I'm nearly 56 years old so time to think about all the aunts and uncles who died in their 60's. Hope we can help one another.

@codylee98 .....Thank you...Yes do take them blood results very seriously!!!!! It runs on my dad's side!!!! I too had way high triglycerides and cholesterol!!!!!! I am combating mine with foods....You can switch your sugar out on the chart to show cholesterol....I watch my cats cholesterol and sodium....Not too worried about the rest....Congrats on your years of sobriety!!!!! Fantastic!!!! You have wisdom we all need from time to time....My food diary is open...It proubly seems a bit odd to many...Lol... But I'm down almost 60 pounds since August.....Joined this page to start tracking so I could fix blood levels....Well last check...IM IN THE GOOD RANGE!!!!!! WOOT!!!!! The weight is steadily coming off...The cats in things like salmon..Muscles..Oysters..Sardines..Avocados...Very good for you...Our body automatically makes cholesterol....So add some pork fat chicken fat fried foos to that and we get into trouble !!!! Especially us who are genetically wired to hold on to these silent killers...I will be 54 next month...Had a heart attack last Nov....On Thanksgiving day...Was so much fat in my blood it just couldn't pump....I of course got all the pills they hand ya...I'm off them now!!!!!! But gonna keep a close eye on my blood...You need any advise on that one I'm your girl.....Look at my pictures....That big swollen face gal is me !!!! Just this past August...I took it thinking it would be the last photo of me because I was dying....Really was...I could write a book.. Proubly need to...I'm happy to meet you and hope you do real well on your journey....Much hugs and go for it girl !!!!!! Whole foods...No process food...Or just a little on occasion...0
