Walking vs. Drunken Stumbling

in Introduce Yourself
By the Grace of God and one day at a time I'm coming up on my 8 month anniversary of sobriety this week. What a thrill! I feel as if the fog started to lift at the 3-month mark, clarity returned at 6 months and every day since then gets better and better.

There are 64 calories in 1 ounce of vodka. The website from which I gleaned this information goes on to state that one can burn 64 calories by walking for 18 minutes. I often drank 12 ounces of vodka - 768 calories - at a time so I envision a report as follows: "to burn 768 calories walk 216 minutes OR stumble about drunkenly until you pass out."

I have a strong desire to get my life together: quit smoking 18 months ago (check!); got sober 8 months ago (check!); get serious about achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight starting now (check!).

Join me on my journey.

Regards,

Joe
