Most important for me was reading SR and avoiding the pit falls that lead to relapses. I have just started losing weight and everyone says how good I look! Good luck in your journey towards sobriety.
THANKS SodBuster!!. I have a plan that includes hydrating a lot. I don't like mineral water but found another type that uses electrolytes that enhances the flavor: " smart water". Also including unsweet iced tea and zero calories powerade. I agree with you that this helps a lot !!.
Everyone in this battle against alcohol needs to keep fighting, no matter how long been sober.
Man, if you are doing it, yes, I can too !!. You are an inspiration !!
THANKS for the advice!!
