The WORLD economy scares me to death right now Badger.......actually the whole world does. Gonna make me an agoraphobic if I'm not careful.

MEL!!!! I worked out today!! Weights AND cardio. First time in a LONG time. You are officially my workout buddy. I am going to post each day what I'm doing towards fitness. Today it was chest and arms with weights and then the treadmill for cardio.

Keep having a great day, folks. I know Mondays are hard and I'm in summer right now. I totally get that.

Checking in after work, boring day. Dropped off some forms on my way in today in hopes of getting my loan sorted. Fingers crossed.
I've been eating so much more chocolate and sweets since working at this job, I can't resist not buying them on my way out.

Leezer - Congrats on 17 weeks! That's brilliant!
Posting on the newcomers' threads is very rewarding.

Mel - Ha! Doubtful.

Badger - Stay happy.

Gotta get on the workout bandwagon with you folks! I gave up on caring about myself because of alcohol and need more self care!
Leezer, I'm with you, terrified about world events. Still trying to avoid the news but it sneaks up on me.

Hitting the point where emotions keep coming and coming. Tears over things little and bigger. Nothing makes me want to drink but this emotional chow chow kinda sucks even as it means I am healing.

Checking in before bed. I'm out and about for the next two days so I'll catch you all Thursday evening. Just so you guys know I'm okay.

Sadie - I keep trying to join in with the workout gang but I always give up after a couple of days!

August - Hang in there. If you ever need to talk/vent we're here.

Oh my Lee don't say 2 days! You scared me... 2 days working out not drinking... August embrace the emotions. It beats drowning them. Try to focus on everything you have to be grateful for. Wish I could work out. I went a couple times and now can't seem to find the time....

PHRD--You are my sober twin. I'd reach out to you FIRST if I were in trouble!!

OT--Thanks for your great, honest posts. You always take the extra time to address all of us.

August--If I could ask, how many days have you been sober? Just know that however many, fluctuations of emotions are common for ALL of us.

Goodnight everyone,
The big 120 tomorrow!

Lee

Fighting with fiance. Hangry from dieting. Stressed out from work and my new contract. Overworked. Very hangry.

I'm pissed at how much time this is taking. I can't run, not biking, not going to the gym.

Well it can be a stressful event. It's close. But... It's important to take some time for yourself. Try to get away briefly if you can. If you are hungry and dieting try eating beefy jerky. High in protein and low in carbs. Reach out if you need to.

Quickly checking in before work, I've stuck with my planned morning routine and I'm feeling slightly less exhausted. Even when I'm tired it's got nothing on how I felt when I was drinking. THAT was awful.

OOTT - I agree with Badger, take some time out if possible. Things will improve soon enough.

Leezer - I really appreciate you saying that!
Congrats on Day 120!!!

Alright, catch you all Thursday evening.

Just got a text. Charlie or Mouser just peed on my fiance's clothes. She's at my place painting the kitchen and bath.
The stress continues.

OTT, I don't mean to laugh but I LOVE "hangry" (I will use that the rest of my life---I think I am always hangry or hungirritated) and I loved the update: it was mouser, lol.

So the big 120. I have waited soooooo long for this day. 120 days feels like 1020. Thanks OT, Jimmy, and everyone. You guys have been great.

Now I need to go. I'm "hungleppy" (hungry + sleepy)

Be good!
Lee
