I just read about this too. I have all of these symptoms off and on. Hence the crying episode yesterday. I don't really feel like hitting the gym yet but I am doing really well at eating right. I can't ever remember to take my vitamins though. Must be the brain fog...I think I will go to that right now while I am thinking about it. LOL

Well it's nearly 9pm and the triggers were unbelievable today. But I didn't cave in...still not the end of the day but I think I got this one in the bag.

I am eating a lot today but it's better than drinking the calories right?

knb, my eating is terrible but my one and only focus less than 2 weeks in is to stay sober. I'm not concerned with anything else. WTG on day 1!!

Congrats on Sober Sunday, knb!

I've been letting my eating habits go nuts over the last ten days as well. I've got a beach vacation coming up in two weeks and feel sorry for anyone who has to see me in a bathing suit. But I'm also not going to stress out about it right now. Sobriety first, all other concerns second for me.

Well I started feeling sort of sad and bored and sorry for myself. It wasn't quite a craving but I could see it coming, so I went and checked my list. Went to the bank, the grocery store, and cleaned the bathroom floors.

I let myself eat whatever I wanted for the first two weeks. I figured better to eat fast food everyday then drink! I'm eating better/exercising this week, but I still give myself a little cheat day to eat whatever I want. I already lost a few pounds just from cutting out the food/booze and adding in the exercise, so that's promising!

Thanks for the encouragement cissy, casey and site. I popped out to my local supermarket to buy a bottle of diet coke. I don't normally have this in the house but I am craving the sugar rush I get from my wine....
Just drank two glasses of it and eating yet another plateful of food.

feels good to think that this is my first sober Sunday this year!

How bad does that sound?!!

CaseyW

It sounds the polar opposite of bad!

Hi guys, thinking I should stamp my claim on the May group as I'm adamant to make this one stick. Day 2 for me. Got a lot to get through this week, but drinking will only make it a hell of a lot worse for me. No more. Never. Just keep reading, just keep reading....

Congrats on day 2 Boombox

Haha knb, I never thought about it that way! I'm fairly certain this is my first sober Sunday this year as well.

Yikes!

Hope2014

Ugh. I'm back at day 1 again and feeling horrible. I have got to do this. I decided to start journaling and checking in here everyday to hold myself accountable. I'm really struggling.

CaseyW

Welcome boombox! Looking forward to getting to know you.

And glad you made it back in Hope2014. I've really tried to up my accountability here over the last few days as well and it is definitely helping.

Glad you're sticking around with us Hope. Sounds like you updated your plan, which is great. Have you checked out the Gratitude list on the forum yet? I find it very helpful. And the 24 Hour Recovery Connections thread is great as well.

And welcome boombox! May is a great group to get in on, if I may say so

opalblue

Going to say goodnight to you all. I am so so grateful to be going to bed sober.
So grateful ;-)

7am and I just got in from an early morning run, woke up at 5am.

Just got showered and about to head out to work.

Oh yeah, and the 20 day mark is less than 48 hours away, 3 week mark 72 hours.

site1Q84

Nice going Agagonnhoj! That will be a great milestone to hit. I have no doubt you can do it.
