The big 40!

Cant believe I've made it to 40 days! I have put on a load of weight though and that is something I'm not very happy about right now as I know I need to get to the gym and quit the bad food but I just mentally cant find it in me to do such a huge task. Feel a bit lost to be honest. But hey I got 40 days so that's good. I'm pleased.

Congrats on 40 days!!! I'm at 26 and have put on some weight too. I'm telling myself one thing at a time. But I'm trying to be more aware of my food decisions and I've started walking on the treadmill a few nights a week. Good luck!!! 40 days is awesome!!

40 days is terrific!! I know what you mean about the weight gain!! I have really only been hungry for sweets and its the perfect time of year to find all the sweets i want! I figure i'll work on my eating habits once the sobriety is a little more under control. 22 days here.

Congratulations on your 40 Days!

For now, don't put any unnecessary pressure on yourself. Just focus on staying sober and don't bite off more than you can chew. Be kind to yourself. Eventually, your head will start to clear and your motivation will return and you will want to do other things. Early sobriety is all about taking baby steps!

Congrats on 40 days RJY

It can be hard to find the motivation to exercise, I know...but even a walk around the block can help get you started

best wishes
