Gotta go exercise! I will check back in later!

P.S. If you don't want to answer those questions, NO WORRIES! I was trying to change the mood on this thread.

Maybe I should post jokes?

Anyone got some good jokes?

Early sobriety sucks Kiki - everything is a trigger. You have to protect it or you will lose it....as I have many times sadly.

This time the second week of sobriety I started noticing the weight loss. I'm eating better. I always try to eat good but when I was drinking that always didn't work out too well

Kiki - I think I noticed around 1 week. Of course it's been in fits and starts since I've relapse several times. But overall I've lost about 18 pounds since March. I always said I couldn't lose weight because I'm hypothyroid. No, it was all the calories from drinking...duh!

Kayak, you make fun of chipotle, but you're taking burritos. I'll be the happiest one of the bunch with all of the chocolate.

Clearly headed same way here with the weight-loss my sobriety has been a yo-yo I have lost 17 pounds since I got back from vacation. No carbs no sugars lean protein

One weekend I counted up the calories from my drinking and it was crazy amount
I was probably drinking five to six thousand calories a day on the weekends now I drink sugar free green tea citrus


Kiki you should make us do a homework assignment every day that was fun you can keep our minds occupied and keep the gears from rusting up


Samantha stay strong early sobriety is hard but you can do it and some of us are here to help
