It’s good that you have college to look forward to Freedom. And you’re doing a great job of staying sober to make your college goals happen

I went for a 10 minute walk today. I’m going to try for longer tomorrow, but as long as I get out for 10 minutes that’s a start. I’ve been struggling with depression too, and I think I need to ramp up the exercise quite a bit more. It’s just hard getting motivated to get started....

Day 70 completed. Sat through a 3.5 hour rain delay to play 18 holes badly....and didn’t drink.... other than my Kroger flavored seltzer waters! Completed P90x workout in the evening. Hopefully another 5K tomorrow. If anyone is interested, IRun4Movement has some great virtual 5Ks to do, and the tshirt, medal, race bib are awesome. Raises money for good causes, and gets me motivated to get my butt off the couch 😂

stay safe & sober friends

70 days is great Hewson

I agree Freedom, yoga is great for us. Sometimes it’s really hard to get motivated to do it, but when I do, I always feel better afterwards, both physically and mentally

If FF doesn't post in here anymore it might just be Willow and Hewson in here now...Other than me even though technically I am a July class

Hewson, I have been meaning to invite you to our exercise thread way down at the bottom of the forum.

Max, Freedom did post right before my last post.
Unless somewhere else Freedom has said something about deciding not to post here?
I haven’t seen anything like that yet though.

I have found that class threads often go really quiet as people drift away. I have joined so many... I joined the July one too, although technically I’m a June quitter
But I also still post in a bunch of other classes that I joined along my journey with previous attempts to quit, including my original class of May 2018. Although that’s pretty quiet these days.

21 days, 1 hour and 5 minutes sober.

I had been handling things fairly well with only minor variations in my days. I had some fog here and there. I had cravings. I worked through those things effectively and I expected that's how my sobriety would continue. The past two days I was in an uncharacteristically foul mood for absolutely no reason. In talking with Owen90, he seems to have had the same thing going on and we share the same sober date. Is that normal? I'm back to feeling like myself again today.

Congrats to everyone here. We're in this together!

Oops, this was supposed to go in the class of July thread. Don't mind me. I apparently can't read now that I'm sober...

Threads have an ebb and flow.
I've learned never to count threads out

I'll come in and talk to you, Max. I was once a member of this class, even if it was for a very short time. So, whazzup?

I am in the July one which is why I was saying this one might be dead. I think many of the quitters this month went to other months. Hewson still hanging around here though

Max I must have missed Freedom’s post about moving on...

Like Dee said, threads wax and wane. People come and go.
I post in a whole bunch of different class threads, including classes I started in but then mucked up. I think the more support the better.

Hi Lixie! Lovely to see you here
