Listae, I love walking too and it's helped me so much with recovery. I walk about 5 - 6 miles a day and love it. It helps me physically, spiritually and mentally. I'm glad you have embraced walking in recovery.
Happy Monday, April group.

Oh my goodness FF please call for help, get yourself to hospital and stay safe. Thinking of you xxx
Laz-what an odd and inappropriate thing for a psychiatrist to say to you, sounds so flippant! If you can, challenge her on it next session. But certainly don’t give it another thought, it’s utter baloney. Xxx
Day 17 done. Last time I caved on day 17. The previous time it was day 18. Staying vigilant. Staying here.
Love to all on your sober journeys xxx

I hope you're being checked over FF.
I think there are some things almost worse than death - I had mini strokes after I stopped drinking.
I never thought anything would happen to me...I figured if I checked out it would be quick.
But I didn't check out - and I didn't seek medical help.
I'm lucky my minds intact and I can live independently still - but its only in the last few months I've been able to walk more than 100m, with the help of a walker.(zimmer frame with wheels)
Noone wants to think about that stuff in their 30s - but it happens - play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Congrats Lixie on 25 weeks and congrats to everyone logging another sober day.
Day 47 for me. I’m enjoying my son’s baseball game on a beautiful, warm night. Work was crap today and I normally would be chomping at the bit to get as many beers in me as possible on a warm night after a stressful day at work. But tonight I am scrolling through SR, watching the game, and enjoying some sunflower seeds. I’ll try to do some breathing work and meditation tonight when I get home to hopefully release some of this stress. I won’t be picking up that first drink for sure.
I am in for 24 more sober hours with you all (let’s close out the month strong April Army!) ODAAT
Have a good rest of your day all

Sal, good plan to stay vigilant, but you're getting through this!

congrats Ddog 
Just in case anyone doesn't know
We'll move this thread at the end of the month so that the new monthly thread (May 2024) can take its place here in Newcomers forum.
This April 2024 thread stays intact, but moves to the Daily Support forum.
Some members may prefer to move to May's thread, but there's no rule about that at all - stay here, move, or post in both - it's really up to you
I wanted to remind and reassure everyone you're all very welcome to keep posting in this thread.
It will keep going
