I have the same app as benice. It's just called "I Am Sober." It's a very simple app with not much to it, but it keeps track. I have liked it so far. I go to it often in the day just to be able to see my Day and milestones.

Good morning class.
After a terrible, terrible day 1 I'm moving into day2. I didn't sleep even an hour last night. I ate most nothing yesterday and still don't feel like I want anything this morning. I did make pot of coffee though. Maybe I'll try a couple scrambled eggs later.
Have a nice day!

Here's to a clear, calm, productive and predictable day to you all! I'm on Day 5. Haven't been around cause I'm so busy but tried to read through everyone's posts. I'll try to check in daily or else I won't be able to follow/connect. Yep, first try was Dec 2010 - Geeze almost 5 years ago. Looks like I tried last year too. I'm feeling really confident this time and I know some of it is because my husband is doing it with me - he's not quitting though - so I need to plan for when that happens. That will be the hurdle that makes me second guess myself because my main excuse in my brain not to quit - other than I can handle it now that I quit for a while - is that I'll loose him. It's a stupid fear as we've been together for 15 years and are still in love with each other and best friends. But that's it. That's the reason I drank again last time and I have get beyond it. I drink too much and sometimes don't stop. It's getting in the way of my goals and making me frustrated and unhappy with myself all the time - sucking up wasted time in my brain that I'd like to have free for other things. K, sorry for going on and on. Have a great day and look around to notice the differences in your life being sober today!

Also Gatorade or Pedialyte. They replenish electrolytes. I finally got some Gatorade yesterday and felt better quickly. Stock up if you can. As soon as you can eat something, do that too. Also V8 or a multivitamin, if you can get some. Hang strong, it gets better.

BB, hoping today is a bit better for you !
I'm thinking about trying out that field guide app. Gotta get my wife to check her account before paying the 8$ ( kinda poor). All the $ I drank away in 15 yrs, would probably give me retirement immediately! Lol
Another hot day out here . Whew !

I remember the sleepless nights, night sweats, feeling like I was a total airhead forgetting really simple stuff during early sobriety. It takes some people longer than others to get better. I think mine lasted a lot longer than I'd expected it to. I was also quitting a long time marijuana addiction as well as alcohol. But hang in there! It will get better.

Good morning all!! Those of you getting further along in those first days, just remember the physical part will keep getting better and none of us need to feel that way again if we stick to our goal. I have a lot of mental side stuff going on now, but will not drink!!! I Would drink away the mental stuff previously and now it's right in front of me! I could go on about all the problems alcohol has caused but that is a story for another day!! My husband is not intending to quit, but he does not have the issue I have so him having a couple beers at social stuff is fine with me. Shame I can't, but I know myself and I can't!!😀. Determined to eat healthier today. Chocolate at midnight after ice cream in the afternoon is never a good idea😂! Happy Wednesday!
