I am reading this and liking it. I think what I get out of it is that you have to change what is making you drink. Trying out a dry January. First day back to work and not sure I can do it. I hate my job. I was so zen this morning then crap started piling up. I so want to go buy something. I have one can in the fridge. I…

Congrats TEQWAR. I had started drinking a lot when we started WFM then moved to stay at home orders. I am 8 days sober. I am feeling much better. I have been running more which helps a lot. I needed a rest day from running so I did weights this morning. I have a descent amount of equipment but miss my gym. I am going to…

I love this thread. I went through my dresser drawers this weekend and got rid of a huge trash bag of clothes. Just taking it to the recycle as it is trash. Embarassing how I cannot throw stuff out. Weekend before I made my son go through his bathroom and throw out empties or stuff he did not use. Also found three pairs of…

impressive good work.

@bearly63 hope your back gets better soon.

@RubyRed427 Thanks for sharing the sober school website. That post was very helpful for me. I have failed so many times at being sober. I even went to a festival and chose not to drink and had such a blast and felt joy I had not in a while but got back to normal life and back to drinking. Trying again. Sober since Sunday.…

Thanks @JenT304. Enjoy your vacation

I truly stink at trying to be sober. I know it is what I need to do. I hurt my hand with a hedge trimmer in July and I broke a finger. It was very painful. I turn to alcohol when i am in pain. I have drank a lot since then. I got an infection which does not seem to be getting better and a messed up gi tract. Well googling…

Checking in. I have failed on my sobriety journey. I think the thing is I can do my life, I don't black out, I don't have real issues but I know it is holding me back. to deal with work stress and loneliness I drink. I wish I would stop.Maybe I will try the alcoholic experiment again. It worked well before for 2 months but…

RubyRed great work on the sober vacation. I always feel like drinking is part of vacation. Lorraine-we should all count our blessings. I find when I am sober I realize when I am going down. You are strong and you will get past this.

I love this thread. I am 8 days now. My runs are improving. I am feeling happier. I worked out every day this week. Ruby red i totaaly get the need to finish off others wine. I hate wasted alcohol.

Thanks all for the welcome back. I did the alcohol challenge last year and was 60 day without and tried to moderate afterward. So restarting and feeling good about.

I am back. I gave up on being sober but I know I am better off without alcohol. My life feels empty and alcohol fills the void. I have a job I like, kids I love but sometimes they are with their dad or friends and I am lonely. I can’t seem to date. I am an introvert who really has a hard time connecting with others. I…

I think I just want to get to 130 which is 6.6 so happy with .5 lbs a week. Ultimate Starting Weight: Challenge Starting Weight (April 20): 136.6 April 26: 130 May 3: May 10: May 17: May 24: May 31: June 7: June 14: June 21: June 28: July 4:

What activity do you have besides the walking? I would put it at lightly active if you have a desk job.

Been a while since I have been here. I am still AF but not feeling good. Work has been stressful. Had to let someone go, lost sleep over it but in the end it was best for the employee and the company (employee admitted this). I have had a headache and stomach issues. I am not sick but not right. Probably stress. One thing…

Aww thanks for thinking of me Rubyred. I did read the thread some and cheered all of you on from here.

Joining again. I did two months sober in May and June of last year. Was doing well until the holidays. I broke up with the guy I was seeing and drank too much the week before I broke up with him and the week after. Felt like crap. Got on the scale and sure enough weight had gone up. So I am going sober again until my ski…

Good luck. There is a great group in the challenges group. Very supportive group. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10714172/less-alcohol-january-2019-one-day-at-a-time#latest

One day where I ran gave me 1958 steps per mile. Other day lots of walking 2066 steps per mile. I am 5'9"

@ErynVee I have done the same (forgetting to hit post). Great work on being AF. Amazing how the weight comes off when we do not drink those empty calories @imfitasacello This thread is so supportive. I felt the same on posting for a while. It gets easier to post.

You need to increase your calories. 121 at 5'7" is light and your body weight is low. You are still losing so your maintenance is higher than you are eating.

Lorraine I am working on this too. Only way this works is if we address the reasons behind our addiction. Hugs

awesome on both. Great work

Good work!

Lol I can relate to this. When I am out when others are drinking I go back and forth on being happy I am not drinking and sad. I wish I thought less about it. I do think I am getting there.
