Three weeks today
Three weeks! I feel so good and strong and proud of myself. I'Ve been exercising more - cant say I'm eating any better because I've substituted food for alcohol for now. Everything in its time.
It can be done. One day at a time.

Congratulations and you should be proud of yourself!
I went on a pigfest around 3 months. I ate everything and anything. It is not uncommon for this to happen.
My main goal in the beginning was just not to drink. I focused on that. The rest will come later.

I am only on day two and I am working from home today and at midday I thought mmm I know what I will do, finish early, get in a pizza and a bottle of wine. I was almost on the Internet ordering and I was like whoa! Hold up I don't drink anymore. Then I thought its only day two!
Mainly I don't feel that great today, but guess I am detoxing and it was really reassuring to read your post and a) know that you feel better at three weeks and b) know I am not alone in turning to pizza!

Thank you! And I couldn't have done it with my friends on SR! I love how we are from so many different countries and can still come together to help each other.
I'm not in a program, TG28, couldn't get up the nerve to walk into an AA meeting. I am working with Rational Recovery books and a lot of willpower.
Pigfests rule!!! But then I do turn to exercise to help with that. Now I am starting to think I need to cut down a bit on the eating. My God, is there going to be anything left to do for fun!!!!???

Also- I wouldn't worry about food so much. Generally when we are drinking/using we don't take the best care of ourselves and when we get sober our bodies are in need of nutrients (food). I ate/slept like CRAZY for months, I still eat as much as my body feels it needs. Just eat good food. You have to support your body in recovery too, after all our bodies are the only things we really own, and the investments we make in them do pay off.
