My cardiologist appointment was fine. He just said that I have a slower heart beat. It isn't an indication that I will need a pacemaker or not. Everything was normal. One of the questions on the form was, "In the past year, have you ever had 4 drinks or more in one setting?" In the past YEAR? uh, yeah, way too many times.…

Thanks for the 3 weeks left reminder. Time for me to buckle down.

Continuing to be Sober-ish…day 3 AF. I see cardiologist day after tomorrow so I want a good report.

I agree, everything is going to hell in a hand basket. My sister may get laid off and she is the biggest breadwinner by far in her household. Everything is worrisome. I have been having too much wine every day, thinking it will help but as we all know, it makes us even more anxious once it wears off. I have a cardiologist…

@deepwoodslady I hope your furnace is now fixed. Being without heat and electricity is so hard. I'm also thinking of all our friends across the country experiencing all those scary storms and winds. I've been walking nearly every day on my treadmill for 40 minutes.My weight continues to yo yo up and downs few lbs. I know…

@faurotann I watch TV while on the treadmill. Usually an episode of Bargain Block. It is 2 guys in Detroit that rehab the most dilapidated houses. They are hilarious. There is no way I could read on the treadmill. I would fall off.

I did 28 days but drank Chardonnay yesterday. I am back on track today.

@globalhiker I just read your post and I have to say, the combo of warm weather, the weekend, getting our taxes finally done, etc. DID get to me and I had some Chardonnay yesterday. Too many glasses. Same old story. So my sober streak came to an end. I did 28 days.I wish I could have been as strong as you were! Today I…

The last couple of days have been challenging but I've stuck to my AF Lent goal. March 1 - A March 2-29 AF 1st goal: Easter Sunday, April 20. So I have 22 days until that but who is counting? :) After that point, I will take it day by day.

Thank you Carole! shift plus enter works! see? This will be better for when I enter my weight stats on our other weight loss thread.

I've not had a drink in 25 days and it is 25 days until Easter so I am only halfway there. Oy. It is getting easier though I do think about drinking every day. Not craving it every day, but I think about it like as in, "it would be nice to have a Chardonnay on the deck." but then I just find something else to do. It is not…

24 days AF today. I am using that treadmill a lot so hopefully I can get rid of some of this extra jiggle.

I did 40 minutes on my treadmill this morning then ran after a 2 year old all day, logging a total of 7.5 miles. If I haven't lost at least a half lb tomorrow morning I will throw a tantrum.

Between my treadmill and running after a 2 year old all day, I had 15,000 steps. That's 7.5 miles. Now enjoying a Heineken 00 with my feet up. A 1 AF 24

I mentioned on another thread (there are a few of us here on both) that we just bought a walking pad/treadmill. Obviously you aren't going to get on that thing after drinking, or you shouldn't anyway. I walked 2 miles, 2 miles, and 1 mile on it today in 3 different sessions. It is fun and it is small enough to slide out of…

Oh no, Carole, this is BASIC and not at all fancy. it will tell you distance, calories burned, speed and how fast you are going. I am going SLOW when holding my weights…..max 3 mph. It is called the Akluer walking pad treadmill. This one has a bar which I find is a MUST. I have already grabbed onto it a few times when I…

The treadmill is here. Now I expect to look like a fashion model by Summer 🤣.

My treadmill arrived way sooner than I thought it would. They told me April 1! We set it up and I just did 2 miles while holding and moving around light hand weights. I love having it here at home and not have to get dressed and go to our community center, which doesn't even open until 10 am. I don't think it is even open…

Today will be my first dry anniversary (unless I was pregnant that year) in 39 anniversaries. I am trying not to associate alcohol with celebrations. I am 3 weeks sober today. When I went on a "Sober for Lent" journey, I didn't really realize the time period would involve my husband's birthday and our anniversary, but…

A woman in my community drove drunk into a tree on St. Patrick's night and is now dead and has left a family reeling. It is so sad. The sober us knows that we can't think clearly when we drink so we are over confident. Another life cut short by the poor decisions made under the influence and heartache forever for her loved…

@Walela617 Good luck with colonoscopy. I hope it all goes smoothly and you get a good report.🙏

Day 20 AF. 30 Days until Easter which is the end of Lent which is my challenge. If I make it 50 days it will the longest I have been sober since my last pregnancy 34 years ago. I am thinking much more clearly. My skin is glowing. My sleep is better. My mood is stable though I still get bouts of depression about various…

Though St. Patrick's Day is over, the latest "Kate's Blog" on the Sober School website is still worth watching. I love her hopeful and insightful messages. https://thesoberschool.com/why-i-feel-lucky-to-be-sober-on-st-patricks-day/

March 1 A March 2-19 AF Last night we went out to restaurant that has a great patio because it was a beautiful evening. The special was a burger and draft beer for 10.00 which is a bargain. I asked for a bottle of Heineken 00 and she still gave it to me for the deal which was really nice. This is the first time I've had a…
