hi everybody

today is day #9 for me. Not one single drop of alcohol has entered my body in 9 days. the sleeping thing comes and goes with me. one night ill be able to be asleep by midnight, others like tonight im up still at 2:38 am. its okay tho- i used to have a drink right by my laptop until 3 sometimes 4 am. Now there is no alcohol in my drinks.just diet raspberry sunpop. lol
im bored alot tho. anyone else have that at first? i know im brand spanking new to this whole sober thing. i know itll take time. i also know this is the best place for me right now. im eating alot more now.
i know quitting drinking is very important first.
then i keep thinking about all the weight im going to gain, and im already overweight.
i did see a 5lb weight loss (booze weight?) so far.
my skin is breaking out too- is that normal?
for now ill stay on this sober path where the light isnt a blur and my words arent all slurs!
its weird i noticed a couple of times i was talking to my sons and i got silly and was happy and i stopped myself, forgetting i was sober and it was okay to be those things.
so new. and very cool
i like me more and more

thanks for listening
hugs
maria

Way to go on your 9 days.. I love your quote about being okay to be silly. I have found that my sense of humor is still intact.. I thought I would lose it when I got sober.. I thought I would be more serious and not fun to be around. The opposite is so true. Congrats on your progress.

And it keeps getting better and better Maria....sobriety's a joy.


Don't be concerned about the weight, it all evens out in time.

It really works.....

Yes...the skin breaks out for some.
Consider it's the toxins leaving your body.

Many new to sobriety follow an eating plan for hypoglycemia
It is very healthy and it helped me with craving I think.
