| #8 - 100 Day Goal - Abstinance from Obvious Sweets - Want to Join? Please Do!
Thanks to all those 3500 or more posts that have shown up on the previous 7threads. I try to get better...one day at a time. Continuous Obvious Sweet sobriety is very difficult. I have learned to say "No, thanks." to OS offers...to look away from OS temptations...and come to believe that staying away from pigging out helps me be sober in similiar addictions that I have. I am grateful to start the 8th thread dated 1/14/2009. Please post your ES& H. Thanks. |

I was OS sober yesterday...but not in my acting in other areas...not a good sign for continuous OS sobriety...but I am grateful to be OS sober. I want to be sober in the addictive areas of my life today. Take care all. |

I made cupcakes last night for my daughter for school today-today is her real birthday. I stayed the course and did not taste the frosting like I wanted to. It's a "one day at a time" thing for me. Thanks everyone for posting.

I probably ate more than I should have today, but it's been a long day and OS played no part, so I am grateful for that. Freezing today, but nothing like the weather that some of you experience in the States. Hope you all have a good evening.

Completed 24 hours as of the end of 1/15/2009: Roxie-1/15/09 1 day Dave-1/11/09 5 days Jack-1/12/09 4 day Cali- Ananda Cheese GG Nina Mike Pony Spacecat Others I am really at a cross roads. I NEED to make "peace" with the fact that I can't eat certain foods, and continue to strive to live the life I want to live in recovery. The one thing I will NOT do is give up. I am working on one day again...

I had 4 pieces of a sugar-free OS's yesterday. For now, I will claim an OS that is sugar-free is not an OS. Illogical, I know, but it's the best I can do at this moment. I will try to Goggle sugar-free ingredients...or call the store...and find out what sugar-free truly means. I do not drink O'Douls or other non-alcohol beers because, to me, it is too close to the real thing. I fear I would rationalize my way to loosing my AA sobriety. Thanks, Roxie and Cali, for your honesty. Honesty is not easy for me. I started this post today...and had to erase what I started with...because I wasn't going to tell the truth on what happened yesterday. Thank for you posts. Thanks Pony for what you do. You, Nina, Mike, GG, Ananda and everyone are welcome to join us more frequently. |

Still hanging in. I am working on getting more sweaty fitness in my life again. I've gotten lax in this area. Sweaty fitness is a good stress reliever for me which helps replace OS/disordered eating as a coping mechanism. I need to continue to do what I can to make it possible to abstain from unhealthy behaviors. I am enough. Peace. |

Managed to be OS free for the best part of a week without temptation, which is a surprise; I have to make sure I continue that today. Jack, the only sugar free sweets I have had are either gum or mints. I occasionally have sugar free jelly as well, and I wouldn't consider any of them to be a threat or tempt me into eating something I shouldn't. Saying that, I never have alcohol free booze either, maybe that looks too much like the real thing. Just in from work, bed soon for a couple of hours and I don't plan to do too much today. I am hoping to get out for a run tomorrow morning, have a good day all.

Two guys in AA got me started exercising...and exercise remains a big part of my sobriety. Exercise has boosted my low self-esteem, self-image, and relieves stress. I have been able to exercise inside...while I prefer being outside. I believe exercise helps my OS sobreity. I worked out this morning, and plan to run tomorrow like Dave. The weather has been brutal lately...and running outside doesn't seem worth the effort...but we'll see what happens tomorrow. Take care. |

Thank you Cali for your service. I enjoyed the gift of sobriety yesterday, and I don't want to lose it today. There have times when I have eaten OS's daily...I am powerless to stop myself. During those times, I am truly humbled that I can't get the first step right. At the AA meetings I go to...there are very few people I see who are constantly in and out...and keep coming back. I am grateful you people have made it easy for me to keep coming back. In another 12 Step fellowship I attend, the length of continous sobriety is more like our thread than what I see in AA. It is what it is...programs are different...addictions are different...people are different. But often people keep coming back despite frequent slips. I am grateful to come here. It is part of my day. I wake up and come here most often. I will get some exercise in a half hour...now...it is an hour or so before dawn. Take care all. |

She said she not only relates, but is struggling too! I never thought to ask her for help with this...only alcohol. How cool! We have a little system in place now, for both of us to use eachother for support.

Still OS free but I have been tempted the last two nights. I resisted and feel okay tonight and have some fruit to help out later. With my exercise Jack, I find I am an early bird too. The longer the day goes on the less motivated I become. Best wishes all.

I went away for the weekend and visited with friends..... I did really well in the food department. No OS and meals were decent..meaning the portions were good. The only bad part was that we ate dinner very late at night......basiscally cause that is when they eat. It felt very good to get away. I need ot do more of it....lol although I did well while I was out of town, I sure blew it when I got home. I rfeally need help on the portion control. I know when I am full....why to I continue? Why do I put myself in a position to feel sick and stuffed and then guilty and angry at myself for doing more self harm.

I take steps forward, sideways, and backwards on this journey. I am grateful I am not alone. I believe I have progressed in eating more healthily...and I believe there is no other way that I could have done that except through your help, ES&H, and being in AA recovery. Thank you for your sharing and honesty. |
