Hi everyone, Happy Weekend! Thanks so much for starting this 8-week challenge and allowing me to join, @dvmmcw7442! Like Lynn, I am also starting a week late. I have another challenge where I weigh in on Thursdays, but I think it's a great idea to also weigh in on Sundays - the beginning of the week and mid-way between…

Hi everyone, Happy Weekend! AF since 04/22/25 (4 days completed)

Hi everyone, Thank you @SunnyDays930, I would love to take something to suppress my voracious appetite, but I think they won't prescribe it unless your BMI is at a certain level, but I could be wrong. AF since 04/22/25 (3 days completed) Best wishes for your weekend! 💗Carole

WOW, @lislisa123! That's AWESOME! Congratulations!🏆

Hi everyone; so I'm back. Doing good on foregoing alcohol, but my eating has been off the charts! That changes NOW. My weight this morning read 161.4 - that's the highest it's been in awhile; so I've got to get my act together and be more consistent with tracking and intentional physical activitiy. I have been walking…

Happy Easter to you too, @RubyRed427!

Thank you @NewStart127, I did accept Grace's friend request. Enjoy your day! 🌷

Hi @NewStart127 I tried your link. Thank you, but I just got this: There was a problem with your request.

Hi @aalley5 Your profile is private and I am unable to figure out how to invite you as a friend so I can receive messages from you. Can you help? Thank you! 💗 Carole

Hello @aaley5 I'm not sure how to add you as a friend (to get messages) because your profile of private the "Add friend' feature wants me to enter an email address. Can you help? 🌷Thank you!💗 Carole

Hi everyone, I'm so happy you all are still here and hanging tough. Once again, I too, have lost my way along the sober path, but regained my footing as of yesterday morning. On Thursday and Friday, I "checked out" and practically went off the deep end with eating and drinking. Fortunately, I didn't miss work, but people…

Hi everyone! This board is no longer active, but we created a new challenge (below): I have now created my SPRING into SUMMER group, which will begin on March 20th and run through June 20th. Please feel free to join me there if you'd like to continue on your road to wellness. All are welcome! 💗Carole

Hello everyone! I'm still here and just made my 3-day milestone (now on Day 004): Hi @RubyRed427, Congrats on your AF Sunday! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't sleep well. I think I know exactly what you mean by "Sunday Scaries", although with me it's not tied to a particular day. I usually have that for about 24 hours…

Hi! Sounds like we're all in the same boat, but if we keep trying, I know we'll get where we need to be! I won't record my 3 days AF until tomorrow evening (for 4/11, 4/12 & 4/13). My Sober Time app doesn't count the number of days until midnight the following day, which is fine by me. I won't be going anywhere this…

Hi, @RubyRed427, I've been there, just recently, too. I want OFF this "not-so-merry-go-round"! I just can't afford it - financially, mentally, emotionally or physically. I find that whenever I binge on alcohol now I am very sick the next day. It's just not worth it! I need to learn how to take better care of me. Now and…

Happy Sunday everyone! Hi @RubyRed427 Thanks so much for your encouraging words! Wishing you a great weekend too!🌷 @SunnyDays930, So happy to hear that your cardiologist appointment went well! There are so many "triggers" out there right now, but in my case I always end up feeling much worse after a binge. Hang in there!🌹…

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, I put a brand-new banner on our home page for this challenge:

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…

AF since 04/04/25 (Day 004) "Life will always try to make things difficult for you, but every time you overcome obstacles, you come out stronger." - Sober Time's message for April 7, 2025.

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…

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 and Happy Weekend! I did manage to resist yesterday so I can count Day One as completed. AF since 04/04/25 (Day 001) C'mon back, @SunnyDays930! We miss you!🌷 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @LowTechForever!🎂 It's great that you got to celebrate but didn't go way "overboard!" So glad you came back! @RubyRed427, Please hang in there. I…

Not forgetting anyone! HI! Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I hope to hear from you soon! So… My weight is NOW 161.8 as of this morning - Oh, NOoooo! I hit a "bump in the road" and "fell off the wagon"; so today I decided to hit "RESET" by deleting all my previous weight entries and updated my starting weight to TODAY,…

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…

Happ weekend everyone, AF since March 19th, 2025 Have a great Sunday! 💗 Carole
