Congrats! You and I are both at 2 months. Yes definitely a huge lifestyle change, it’s been strange adapting to it and I see 2 months as still initial stages for me personally. Takes time to adapt, and still adapting. I’m glad you have a sober supportive manfriend and happy for you that you’re sober today

That’s amazing!!!! Congrats be proud! Look how far you’ve come!

@JulieAL1969 I can totally relate to this! I actually look forward to seeing my psychotherapist. It’s the best.

Also I agree with all the comments here, it’s a complicated journey. We need to reach out for support, whether it be this community or individual therapy and groups-but yes sometimes You just have to hibernate for a while in the beginning to get through the initial tough part. And ultimately the relationship we have with…

Someone asked how I managed to stay sober for 2 months now, and I thought I’d share my answer here: @ There have been a lot of changes in my body and mind as it is adapting and went through detoxification; it’s truly been a roller coaster. And I wasn’t expecting that to last as long as it has-happy, to sad, to excited, to…

I’m 2 months sober today! Feeling happy and proud. Hasn’t been easy, but worth it!

Re: Resources-“Waiting: A Nonbeliever’s Higher Power” by Marya Hornbacher is an excellent book. It’s somewhat geared towards agnostics in Alcoholics Anonymous, and talks about the difference between spirituality and religion, but the focus is not really on AA, but the bankrupt experience of being an alcoholic and finding…

I’m in. 54 days sober today. Committed to staying sober for May. I want to make more of an effort to check in here, great support

Day 26 AF. Pms, mood swings, roller coaster all month I barely know who I am lol. I guess this is who I am when I’m not drunk. I keep telling myself to be patient, this is clearly going to take a while for my body and mind to adjust to. For the record, I don’t wish I was drinking. I’m happy I’m doing this, even though it’s…

@JulieAL1969 yes I remember Wayne Dyer, and reading his books years ago; I should re-read, thanks for posting the video I needed to hear that message today!

I'm in

Hi everybody, I really want to follow this thread; it’s not a “group” I can join, is it? I just adjusted my notifications...I guess just wondering if there is some way to be notified when comments are made in my newsfeed or whatever. Message me! Thanks! Trying very hard to stay sober and would like to follow this discussion

Today I’m on day 4 sober. I’m also on my period. I also work in a bar. I feel so irritable lol. I’m basically dealing with this right now by telling myself it’s just a lot of bad feelings, it’ll pass. I also remember how bad it was 4 days ago, and I am well aware that I have been trying to recover from that night this…

Can I use my iPhone?

Staying sober today! Glad I found this thread

When my stomach was hanging over my pants, none of my old clothes fit me...just generally felt uncomfortable being Chubby, and embarrassed all the time.

I'm trying really hard! Every time I drink, it just ends in excess, weight gain, and feeling sick. The problem with being an alcoholic (that's me) is that I can only abstain for so long...bad relapse cycle...but I'm doing my best. Day 4 today of not drinking
