I'm a breast cancer survivor. I've been in remission for almost 4 years (January 11, 2016 is my remission date). I started remission at 250 pounds. In 2016 I started my weight loss journey by means of eating a healthy balanced diet. By the end of 2016 only lost 25 pounds, still in a lot of pain from the estrogen blocker,…

I've been keto for nearly 3 years and personally I wouldn't exceed 20 NET carbs. I personally wouldn't exceed 40 total carbs.

I'll join. I'm a day late however..... Highest Weight:270lbs Current Weight: 192.6lbs 12 Week Goal Weight: 165lbs Final Goal Weight: 145lbs (weight-loss) Weigh In Schedule: 9/23: 192.6 9/30: 10/07: 10/14: 10/21: 10/28: 11/4: 11/11: 11/18: 11/25: 12/02: 12/09: 12/16:

For me personally I would never suggest someone who’s not had a drop of alcohol for over a year to try the contolled drinking experiment. There have been many people in my AA community who had 10 years plus sobriety who no longer believed they were an alcoholic and could be a normal drinker. Needless to say they aren’t…

I can’t figure out how to find a team or make a team. When I try to search for a team it shows no such teams

I am ok. I was a little hurt and felt a little attacked yesterday but I also was very tired and lacking sleep so my feelers where a little sensitive. All I can really share is my logic so know when I share this that this is only my experience and I’m not speaking on behalf of anyone in AA For several years before I stopped…

I posted my response to you before I read your post about it’s ok to not like AA. I couldn’t delete my response It’s totally ok to not like AA and it doesn’t own the monopoly on recovery/alcohol free living. I only shared based on what I thought you were saying about if you truly were and alcoholic or not. Sorry for…

@RubyRed427 my heart breaks for your cousin. I have more fun sober than I ever did drinking. @lorrainequiche59 I had a very hard time identifying as an alcoholic in the beginning as well. I thought I was exempt because I still had my husband, family, job, house, etc.... But then when I tried to stop at just one bottle (yes…

Is it too late in the month to join this?

@lorrainequiche59 I'm so sorry about your brother. I'm just getting caught up. Just got home from vacation and missed more than 70 messages. I'm really trying to stay more connected here. I just feel drawn to this thread more and more. As far as a "high bottom" that was me. No consequences from my drinking other than I…

Hi friends. I've only posted a handful of times but read frequently. On this day on Facebook can be a reminder of why drinking isn't an option for me. On this day 7 years ago I was waking up with probably the worst hangover in my life. Hung over physically and emotionally. At the time I was going through one of the most…

I sent them an email and they fixed it. Shoot them an email.

I wonder if you're eating too little. I know for me when I ate too little I was stalled in my loss. I've been keto for 2 years. My first 10 mos of keto I lost doing extreme calorie restriction. At max I would eat 1200 calories a day. I was also losing energy, muscle and hair. I increased my calories up to 1500 minimum and…

Happy Sunday friends. Sorry I’m not more active on this thread. As mentioned before I’ve been AF for 6.5 years. I will say however this last month I had sooo many thoughts of drinking again. For me I use A.A. to help me stay sober. My hat is off to those who can recover and not work a 12 step program. Some days I really…

@lorrainequiche59 I am so sorry for the loss of your former brother in law. An option for your daughter (you too) if she hasn't thought about it might be to try Al-Annon or Al-Ateen. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Alcholisim is so cunning baffeling and powerful.

your label should show carbs and sugar. I no longer eat greek yogurt due to it's sugar and carb content. I've never heard of the keto kitten so I'm not sure what that is exactly. Are you talking about sudden bowl movements? If so don't use MCT oils unless you don't need to leave the house or you have a rest room near by.…

Real men don't drink and still keep their cards ya know :smiley:

so awesome to see this!! hooray!!!

You have to do what works best for your own recovery and means to stay sober. There's a saying in the rooms that says we don't shoot our wounded so I will always have compassion on the new comer to AA or to the person who relapsed and is coming back to recover. I'm really glad you've found a way that works for you. Keep…

I've been AF for 2348 days (6.42 years) on day at a time. I still can't say I'll never drink again...Just today I don't plan on taking another drink. I've been in AA my entire sobriety and it's been the best thing I ever did for myself to help me not drink but to learn how to live life on life's terms. HUGS friend

I just went out and looked.... So heartbreaking. Addiction will gladly take anything and everything. So cunning, baffling and powerful

Happy Sober and hang over free Monday. Saw this on fb this morning and thought I’d share here too “You see, despite all of my resistance to religion and certainty that until that moment, I hadn’t HAD a higher power, I very much did have one. Alcohol was my higher power. Addiction was my God. It was the altar I knelt before…

A.A. I love it, it’s saved my life, given me friendships I could have never imagined and a connection with a higher power I never thought I could have. Is A.A. for everyone, no. A.A. doesn’t own the monopoly in recovery but it’s worked for me and millions of others. One day at a time. I still pray every day to please keep…

It's a great day for day 1. Love you friend!!! You've got this. @ke22yb love your post! Here's to an incredible 2019 friends! @norminv congrats on making it through last night. I know NYE and holidays in general are TOUGH. My goal for 2019 is to be more active in this thread. I've been sober since 08/13/12 and I love the…

Please be careful in drinking any NA wine's or beers. It's a very slippery slope and can make the craving worse. I can't even drink water out of a wine glass anymore. Last night we were at a party at my parents house. I was essentially the only non-drinker (I'm the only alcoholic too) and I saw someone leave behind an…

That's incredible. Those first 90 days are the toughest! Keep up the great work

Please be careful and don't try to overdo it too soon. Listen to your doctor and do your PT for now. I wouldn't worry about working out too much right now. Your body has been under a lot recently and you're too new out of surgery to be thinking about what you can do in the gym. Focus on nutrition and short walks for now.…

Hello all. I've posted several times in the past but I'm not a regular so I'm just getting caught up on everyone. I'm happy to hear of those hanging in there and those struggling. To the suffering please keep trying. Don't give up. I celebrated 6 years of sobriety in August. For me the only thing that has ever worked is…

That's awesome! Congrats and keep up the good work. I've been keto for 20 months. I'm down 60 pounds and feel better than ever. I feel better at 45 than I did at 30. Love the keto way of life

more salt and more fat. You have to eat. If you're not eating it's no wonder why you're so tired and not feeling good.
