Hello my friends. It was a good day for me. It was a sober day. I just hung out around home. I had these odd feelings today, not really bad but not good either. My body and mind is still getting used to doing without the alcohol. Stay strong all.

Hi Five!! (That sounds funny, lol).
Today I went running since my minor surgery. It went really well. I wore my new speed goat fives. I just couldn’t believe the traction I had! I felt like I was flying. It was such a lovely feeling. I only ran 3.75 miles. But it felt so good.
I met with my local gynecologist today. Unfortunately the specialist that he referred me to for my hysterectomy can’t see me until November 18. But he came up with a plan. He thinks that he and this other doctor can do my surgery which is kind of complex together. So if the specialist can’t take care of me surgically before the end of the year at least I have this other option. I’m trying to see the specialist for the surgery before the end of the year as my deductible has been met with insurance and it would save us a lot of money.
I met with the oral surgeon two days ago. He said that my jaw looks worse. (I broke it when I was hit cycling right before Christmas. I was hit by a small truck). I’m trying to be optimistic. Insurance rejected the claim. But we will try to resubmit it.
This time last year I was so active! I mean I still am very active. But the thought of two surgeries coming up is a little bit daunting. My jaw was feeling fine but in the last month or so something has happened and it aches quite a bit. But I refuse to take Advil. Because I’m scared that it will mask the pain and I will start eating foods that will just exacerbate the situation.
I don’t know what day it is for me. Day 18 I think! I’m proud of that.

I’m back on day 1 after making it 9 or 10 days. I quit counting because I felt like I was obsessing over the number of days. I drank for the last 5 days and feeling pretty crappy right now. Hopefully someday I can break this cycle

Good morning all, This is day 18 for me. It has not been easy. The first week is kind of like, "I got this, I can do this." Then week two is "what a minute, what did I commit to?" Then week three is like a great big can of mixed up emotions. That is how yesterday was for me. I was all emo, happy, sad, angry, weepy.....I stayed sober thru it all. I plan on exercising today. Will walk about 4 miles then work out with weights. Get that done early. Hope all of you are doing well. Stay strong.

Welcome to the September Folks thread new peeps and good afternoon to all.
I did my yesterday check-in on the wrong thread. Such is my life...LOL. Was reading some good stuff here on SR today. Focus on sobriety first, perhaps first few months or more, then begin to make other changes. The saying 'KISS' dose apply to me.
Cooler weather here in The Nard, I like that. Had my BFF come by this morning for a visit, that was nice.
Mood wise I'm a wee bit happy I dare say. Got the attitude of gratitude rolling along today and a chore list from L.A to N.Y long. Got the 'can do' spirit flowing through me or a reasonable facsimile there of

End of Thursday now. I made it this far last week and then Friday got the better of me. Got a good feeling it won’t this week though. Checking in here reminds me of what I need to do and that I’m not the only one!
Hope the weekend is sober and happy for you all!

Hi Peke, great job on Day 18. It's understandable that you're concerned about two upcoming surgeries, though the jaw surgery seems like it will be a very positive thing for you.
Travelbug, you're on Day 18, too. Great. The plan for exercise will help you to feel good for the day.
Welcome Em & Gibby!

Hello all,
Late afternoon here in KCMO. I had big plans on working out and being productive... Well my daughter text and asked if we wanted to come and hang out with her and our new g-baby (she is one month old tomorrow) Well you know what our reply was, Heck yeah! So off we went. Had a great day! Still Sober too! Stay Strong, ya'll

On day 5 this time. Sober 10 years then started again in 2003. Escalated in last ten years but never daily mostly binge drinking. Been making progress with long stretches of sobriety this year but wife is a social drinker and exerts a lot of peer pressure to join in. Have resolved I need to do this for my health and well-being before I can’t at 62 it’s not going to get any easier. Best wishes to all.
