I'm glad you're feeling better Kitty.
2 weeks for me. Anxiety is brutal...
I went for a short walk and then to see my new counselor. We did meditation focused on worries, it was very nice. And we are working on my confidence. I need that, I don't feel confident right now. I feel very vulnerable...

I'm two weeks also Patricia. Doing good, keep going! Kitty, I'm keeping sober this weekend due to food poisoning. Don't recommend as a sobriety tool

I do feel better today, thanks Kitty! Still just eating toast. Bad clam chowder I think.

Really digging sobriety last couple of weeks. It's nice not having to check my phone to see if I talked to anyone or sent a goofy text! I'm also sleeping a good 7 or 8 hours now, that's something new.

I'm watching a retrospective of David Bowie right now, pure genius. Saw him in 1974 I think, amazing.

Who is watching the Superbowl tomorrow? Go Broncos!

Just wanted to share that I reached 6 months of sobriety today! My AV is pretty much non-existent and I am feeling great. I have now moved on to a serious attempt to eliminate sugar and sweet treats from my diet. I ate way too much sugar in the first few months of not drinking (it helped me a lot and was in a way a substitute for alcohol :-) and now I'm finally ready to make some changes to my diet.

Hope everyone else is doing fine, even if you don't post here. Stay strong!

Congratulations Yogapants on 6 months! I don't know if anyone remembers me but did want to say hello - I hope everyone is well. I have 249 days without alcohol today - certainly anyone can do this if I've made it this far.

Take care and I wish you all happiness and sobriety.

Congrats hopeful! It's great to see another member of our group back here!

I'm right there with you, still sober, getting close to 9 months. Still wanting to drink, but not struggling so much any more. It's become much easier to say no :-)

Thanks Yogapants and again great job. I still have cravings as well but they have decreased. I kind of look at not drinking as a personal challenge at this point. Alcohol is the enemy and I just don't want to lose by giving in. Keep up the great work!

Just checking to see if any of our August 2015 group are still around? Hope everyone is doing well and that we can reunite at least some of us.

Not entirely sure why I looked up this thread. Just a reality check. August 2015 was when I had my catastrophic booze caused- should be permanently dead,burns thingy. Was wondering what other were doing when I was busy frying myself. Hope you all are doing okay and are at peace with the world. PJ

Is any of my peeps still around? I was looking I guess to see if anyone else had relapsed like me. Hope everyone is well. If you're around, give me a yell!
