Congrats, Cali for what you've accomplished so far. You deserve the smiley face you posted. I feel like I'm wandering in the desert (dessert, too) without my recovery focus at the forefront of my wants and needs. I will start anew today. I will be out of town from 1/2 to 1/12. I don't know what the computer access will be. Peace to all.

Checking in as the inconsistency continues. I got to about a day and a half and blew it Christmas eve, and the next few days haven't been great either. I forced myself out of bed this morning and managed an 8 mile run, it was punishing and the fuel I have given my body lately is the reason why. I had a bath and went to get a paper and by the time I was home I was eating chocolate peanuts. So once again tomorrow I will be trying for one, at least I weighed myself when I awoke this morning and my weight is the same-just need to start eating properly. Congrats Cali, you are on a roll at the hardest time of the year. Best wishes Jack, and everyone else.

good to see you Dave. I have been making desserts for the "pot luck" gatherings we have been having on Sundays, alternating friends homes. It's actually pretty fun! Only when I am genuinely hungry do I want to "taste" as I bake. I try to have something healthy to eat before I bake. I remember 2006 mid December getting serious on this thread. I think it's easier to be abstinent (as hard as it is at times) through the holidays, than it is to be over-doing sugar everyday. I am grateful for the chance at another day period! Enjoy all!

Thanks to both of you for sharing your ES&H. For me, it's inconsistency also. I guess I am just right where I am supposed to be. I give in to a couple here and there...and I don't get the satisfaction of continuous days free of OS. But, I have avoided big pig-outs...I have gratitude for AA sobriety...my relationships are all good...I have a job that satisfies me...I take care of my health issues...I am on the right track...steps forward and steps to the side and an occassional step back...

I know this is total "projection" but I don't know what it is about dates (on the calendar) and connections...it seems like things are connected by significant dates-or dates that stand out for a particular reason. Anyway I counted to "100" days to see what the date would be if I make it-and my heart sank when I saw 3/14 as it's the day that my father fell ill. Well-all I know is that I am grateful to be OS free for today.

| Congratulations, Cali on your 25 Days OS Free!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's your chip! I want to share what I heard from a lead yesterday... "It (living clean and sober) is a gift I don't want to give up today." Cali, I hope I can find in me that gift.... that I don't want to give up on it today. You have the gift for some yesterdays and have not given up on it. I admire your experience strength and hope. Thank you. A Very Happy New Years to All!

Thank you Jack!! It's not easy at times with all sorts of holiday goodies around but I have to tell you-it's encouragement like I just received from you that helps to keep me going!! Tonight is a New Year's Eve alkathon where my home group is. It's been snowy today so I'll have to see how the roads are later but probably going. I am supposed to make a dessert so it should be fun. Have a wonderful safe New Year everyone!

Hi all, I was here some time back and want to get back in. I see most of the same names and am heartened by the fact that you folks don't give up. I'm started as of right now, 3:15 am in Boston. Glad to be back, won't give up., and feel really motivated now. Nice job everyone. I look forward to coming here often. Mike |

That's great of you Cali for taking over the count. Please put me down on the bottom to wait until I can get my stinkin' thinkin' under wraps again. I just can't seem to get a grip at all. You are really doing great Cali. I'm happy for you. I hope to be more like you in the future.

Congrats Cali on nearing the month. Can you put me back to zero, I thought of going on hiatus but I think my eating is better when I am on the count. Good to hear from you Nina and Pony, best wishes to you both. Welcome back Mike, good to hear from you again. I hope the family are well and the diabetes isn't causing too many problems at the moment. Hope Jack has a good time away, have a good weekend.

Thanks for the welcomes. The family is good, Dave, the diabetes not so hot, but I'm working on it. Good to see you over on the exercise forum, too. i really need to get going with that. We took our kids skating yesterday and my back felt like it was going to explode. No sweets should help bring the weight down and help iwth that. i'm still at Day 0, but willing. Mike |

Ok guys-good to see you still posting!! I know it's human nature to pull away if off the count (for me it is) but if you can, please still post. We all need eachother and the encouragement to keep going. You all have been so supportive to me-weather I am doing well or not. Thanks again-and I am so glad to see all of you. ps Jack if you pop in-you are missed-hope your vacation is wonderful!!

Cali, you are so right about pulling away when off track. That's exactly what I do most every time, unfortunately. I'm not so sure why I do that when I know for sure that I do so much better when I stay connected, but I tend to do that often. I know that this last time, I was dealing with the feelings of not wanting to deal with any of it at all anymore. I was just so tired of it all and I tried to ignore it and put it out of my mind, but it was getting the best of me, more everyday.

I forgot to say that I have been OS free, yesterday & today, so far, but I still don't think that I'm ready to be put back on the count just yet. I still don't have the proper mindset. Keep up the great progress, everyone. I know that we can't help but be better off than we were before we came here, if we just won't allow ourselves to stay down when we fall.

Good to see everyone here. I need to realize that even though I am not eating OS's, that doesn't mean I can eat whatever I want of other foods. I have gained a bit of weight but I know what I need to do. One step at a time!

Please restart me. I've been off on holiday - really off  I'm struggling with leading a balanced and healthy life. I want to be fit and I want to be healthy and live in the moment and outside of my head. The size of my @ss takes up too much room in my brain. Peace. |
