  • Hello! So today, I reset my SoberTime counter for midnight (12am) Thursday, April 11th. I will put in my count when I get home for the evening with no chance of "imbibing". So far, I have earned my first, two milestones, 5 minutes Sober and Sober Hour! I won't bother posting those or the 1-day, 3-day, 5-day ones, but I…

  • Hi everyone, >Sigh!< I'm disappointed with my weekly weigh-in, because I expected to lose more. Oh, well. I will report diligently here but will start a brand new personal chart on Friday, April 19th, ~10 weeks before my annual physical! (I promised my doctor I would lose at least ten pounds by 06/26/25 - but I was 159 at…

  • Hi! "Here we are again, circle never ends…" Hi @SunnyDays930, so, another lapse for me. I actually overdid it on Tuesday evening to the point where I was sick the next day (vomited several times in the afternoon while at work)! I also broke a longstanding taboo: I brought alcohol home with me. (BIG "No-no" due to "no off…

  • Hi @SunnyDays930, I have the same effect when I still l drink with accelerated heart rate. Also, my boys pressure goes through the roof for the next few days after a binge. I'm worried about my sister, too, because she has an overpayment with Social Security and I'm afraid that soon they will take 100% of her payment until…

  • Hi everyone, WOW! @Rainbow2300! Impressive! I hope your knee and your leg muscles made a quick recovery! Magnesium spray does help. It's kind of itchy and drying so I usually mix it in some lotion. I just ordered a new cream called "Arnicare" that's supposed to arrive tomorrow and is unscented. I'll let you know if it…

  • My cat's former foster mom is a teacher, too. She's an art teacher at Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston, MA. She is very worried also. It's just awful what's happening in our country. 😢

  • Hi @EternalTruth, However you want to track your progress is just fine! No rules on that! In glad you got rid of the temporary water weight! I'm hoping I can do the same and get back into the 150's by the next weigh-in. Have a GREAT weekend! 💞 Carole

  • Hi everyone, Here again and checking in. @SunnyDays930, one slip up after 28 days is no small feat. I think of this as an ongoing journey toward wellness. The occasional lapse will NOT defeat us! Unlike "AA", that constantly makes us start over (and over again) at "Day One", I truly believe that the consective number of…
