Couldn't be happier.

It's been hard, cravings have been gone for a while, and I've cut all sugar out of my life. Don't know how I did both with just will power until now, and changing my routine. The gym has been huge for me, personally.

Everything is not yet perfect, but it is a MASSIVE improvement from when I was binge drinking, and the first 30-40 days. It is getting better and better, I've lost about 15 lbs, and my face swelling is gone. I am getting mood swings every now and then, but I enjoy the fact that I'm actually FEELING. I get moments of overwhelming joy and even love that I haven't felt in a long time. The fight is worth it to those who may be reading this in early recovery. I had some very very difficult moments, but they pass. I promise you.

I know it will still be a bumpy road, but I am learning.

Here's to the next 60.

Thank you for this post Tubesy. I’m on day 25, some good, some bad. It always helps to read about someone in the not so far off future doing well!

Tubesy

Thank you for your kind words Stronger and Komplex.

I agree, around day 25 I was feeling hopeless and seeing others at 2-3 months posting about their improvements is what kept my head up. The anxiety was overwhelming at this point and I doubted my sanity.

That has cleared, and I can only imagine what 4 months, 8 months, 1 year, 5 years can bring.

That's a real accomplishment - may I ask what your plan has been?

Sugar - are you on a Whole30 type thing?

AA? AVRT? Always interested to know what's working.

Congrats!

Tubesy

Thank you Lessgravity, and sorry for the late response!

My plan hasn't been that great, basically practicing mindfulness, meditation, changing my room in the house, and going to the gym everyday.

Boring I know...

Thanks for posting this! I have been having some hard core doubts but I also have faith it will get better. I can’t read or hear it enough right now how it really does get great!
