Keep up the good work!

I found that any fruits that have natural sugars and honey were very helpful. The other activity that got me through some very severe post drinking days was long walks. This allowed me to set a pace that was apropos with my state of physical well being. Ultimately I converted these walks into runs, but all things in time.

The act of walking, particularly when I would have been drinking, gave me time to clear my thoughts as well as my body. I dropped 65lbs over the first three months of sobriety and the feeling of physical and mental rejuvenation allowed me to stay sober these past several years.

OH YEA, AA saved my life and continues to do so.

Good luck,

Jon
