Is this who was normally known to me as Foo Foo way long ago...?? OR is this Jen lol

Bonjourno!!! I'm ba-a-a-a-ack!!! lol I see some familiar names here. I haven't read anything yet. Interestingly, I was a part of this group as I embarked on my 4 year no alcohol journey pre-covid...so appr 6 years ago, then joined the Sober Squad and THEN...I left the religious cult that I had been a member of for 27 years…

Hello to All <3

Hey there Thank you I'll check it out... <3

Yes, It becomes a way of life and not much of a consideration....but a wee desire can appear when least expected...not often though thank goodness...keep up the fight, it is definitely worth it <3

Hello ALL....SO quiet on here these days! I hope everyone's ok <3

GOOOOD Morning...I hope everyone is healthy & happy today...when things get tough remember this: "I am EXACTLY where I need to be right now." I repeat this phrase to myself regularly when I get anxious about the future or regrets about the past. It brings me back to the present <3 I hope everyone is hangin in B)

GOOD MORN B) Just dropping in to say HI to all my working-toward-sobriety warriors regardless of which stage of sobriety we are at!! I've been attending some Freedom rallies in my area...yesterday's was in London Ontario with 5,000 people who came together to support the police officers, paramedics, healthcare workers and…

@BeIn2day ~ I agree, "Sober IS better" AND today is a new day!! It's all part of the journey and remember to repeat these words to yourself when you begin the boxing match in your head, "I am EXACTLY where I need to be right now!!" It helps me to reset to the present and the blessings of being me...remember the blessings…

Good Morn <3 This is off topic and I do not want to create a heated debate due to the emotional component of the subject. This is just a fact-finding mission on my part. I'm wondering what the Covid climate is in varying parts of the world. I know what mainstream media says, but am skeptical about how accurate their…

You GO girl!! <3

Hi All: I'm just sayin' Hello <3

THIS can not be emphasized enough....SO SO thankful for sobriety every dang day!!! <3

I admire your determination to continue fighting for sobriety. When I made my life-changing decision recently I briefly thought, "25 YEARS of my life" but then my next thought was "Nothing is wasted if I learn the lessons" Your journey is helping you to know yourself in a much deeper way, and it WILL lead you to your goal…

GOOD MORN <3 I am uninstalling my Easy Quit Drinking app on my phone. I'm needing more space so I decided that I really do not "need" to have this on my phone any longer. I rarely consult it so there is no further purpose for it to be taking up room on my phone...SO, having said all of that, here are my current stats…

<3 To All ... Hello <3 The struggle is real! I am still not drinking and no plans to do so BUTTTTTT, I am smoking MJ aka Pot or as my Grandson refers to it, "Devil's Weed" It is legal here in Canada so why the HECK not!! Actually, it is one of the things I really missed doing when I stopped doing EVERYTHING & anything that…

Good Morn...YES on meditation. Consistency is key and this is a difficult area for me...I can so easily get distracted but I truly believe that 'regular' meditation will help me with that also. I really need to calm my mind and ground myself. I had a highly triggering day at work yesterday with several meltdowns reduced to…

@Up_n_Running <3 I love butterflies!! What a fitting tattoo for your freedom from alcohol dependence. At least that is what I associate with butterflies ~ Freedom!! I had a running streak on MFP, I think it was close to 60 days logging when I dropped off the map once again, as in logging my food...my WOE has not changed…

Hello...I'm Ba-a-a-a-ack! The following LONG blurb is a page out of my current book that I am in the process of writing (I am seriously writing a book): Just a little Major life change for me in the past couple of weeks. I have been involved in a mainstream religious cult for the past 25 years and have been slowly…

I wish I had been able to say Bye to @donimfp. Sad to see her go :'( She was a valuable part of our group <3

<3 Hugs to everyone dealing with their stuff <3

Is anyone having issues with their newsfeed?

@Up_n_Running Congrats on 100 days...WOOHOOHOOHOO!!!!!

Good Morn to All B) Just a random thought to share. I remember my former husband who suffers with alcoholism saying that he never got hungover & I remember thinking, "How could that be?" Yet, When I think back to my own alcohol career, I rarely got hungover in the typical way I used to in my party days way back when I…

Hello <3 I'm now back at work mostly full time. I have been off most of my jobs for 2 months due to the last stay-at-home order. SO it took me a couple hours longer to get caught up at my job today. My client not only gave me extra $$ for the extra time, but also gifted me a lovely bottle of red wine...my "former"…

Congrats! <3 Great progress!! You'll never regret those 93 days and those to follow sans alcohol. :D

@donimfp <3

It is wonderful to see your growth and determination to carve out a new life for yourself against some tough obstacles. This inspires me to stay the course along with all of the strength I see through all of those here who share their struggles with such honesty as do you. <3

SO proud of you Julie <3 Not only for your 9 month Sober-versary, but that you conquered your "cave to the crave" and did not get that bottle of wine. I know that voice in the recesses of your brain, subtly trying to convince you that it's "just" this or that! But we know it is much more than "just" this or that. Congrats…

Jen, Have you considered having a sleep study? They may be able to provide some valuable feedback to help you get the proper rest. It's worth a try.
