My quest to gain my weight back must be working. My chair just broke.

Time2Surrender

Bummer. I guess not. I still weigh 178 I guess the chair was just done. I dont get it though. I was down to 145 or 150 and gained some weight pretty quick, but now Ive been stuck at 178 for like a week? What is it with 178? My new screen name Time2Surrender178 ? I dont think so. I going back join the gym and gonna start eating more. Too bad this isnt the biggest problem Im facing in life today.

I can hardly stay awake as it is! I am glad though cos last time I quit I didn't sleep for weeks....went insane. :crazy

My Doc actually referred me to a 14 course at the gym, I get a small amount of money off the usual cost and they are giving me a program of exercise to follow. I will be going twice a week.

9.00 a.m on the 31st, 1 day now till 1 whole month. Yes I've been passed a spliff twice and yes I had a brief and jagged,3 day flirtation with M150,a Thai energy drink,with many mysterious ingredients (what's Nicotinamide?, sounds dodgy) And I'm smoking 40 superkings a day now but I haven't had, needed or wanted a drink which is a first for a month's sobriety, discovered N.L.P,which has been a boon and I've not had to venture out into the real,scary world much,which is something I intend to address.

But it's this site and the wonderful straight talking peeps that frequent it that have been and hopefully will be, for months (years!?) the biggest help. Thank you all.

Hi all, Thought I'd better put my two bob in before I lose track of this thread altogether. I've been having a pretty bad week all in all but I haven't picked up a drink.

Congratulations to everyone for staying with it, I know it's not much fun but your efforts are inspirational to me. One good thing about this thread moving so fast is that by the time I get back to it, it takes me so long to read my way through it that I don't have time to drink.

If any one has any advice on how to get drinking out of my head I would be glad to hear it, this seems to be getting worse the further I go. I feel like I'm losing the plot.

Mikey - I'm sorry to hear that your not sleeping well. There's plenty of good non-medical advice on this site that can help you get some sleep. I know it helped me. Try a big glass of warm milk just before going to bed.

Hey everyone!! Just stopped by to cheer you on! I've reached 18 days sober today, which is nothing short of amazing. I'm feeling a lot better, tho still have problems with depression and anxiety, but I'm not drinking over it!!

Sending lots of love to all of you!!

Well it's day 28 and I'm miserable, irritable, bored, fed up, tired and I can't find any motivation to do anything.

I hope your all having a better day than me.

Sax right before I hit day 30 I felt the same exact way. For me I think it was a day 30 hump thing. Hopefully it is for you too!!!

Today is day 45!!! I cannot believe it has been so long. I went to a meeting and smelled alcohol on someone's breath last night. For a moment it was like deja vu!!! But I was happy to be there sober and felt sorry for the person that was still suffering.

I need to go to some discussion meetings though I am not making many friends at the open speaker meetings LOL!!!

Hello All, Day 9 for me! Wow time has flown by. Reading your posts helps me a lot, and I hope I help you guys too. Went to a meeting last night and I feel pretty good. For those having tough times, just really try and weigh what you would gain by drinking (which is very, very little - hangovers, black outs, money, legal woes,etc.) to how good you will feel after knowing you beat back the alcoholic beast one more time. Good luck and gthere is strength in this group!

Time2Surrender

Congradulations. Actually, you do have 30 days today. Most meetings celebrate 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, then 6 months, 9 months, Etc. Anyway, I started a thread for your 30 days. http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ml#post1853685 because 30 days is huge. Good job. I hope you can start getting out a little more. So, if you prefer, we can start another thread tommorow for one month. But, today you do have 30 days. Congrats. Glad to hear your stil sober. Hang in there. Im on day 19 myself. The first 10 days were hell at times, but I pulled through. So, keep on truckin, it does get better. Thanks. I only slept 5 hours last night. Working on it though. I need to leave the computer alone at night and just lay down. 18 days is awesome. Im on day 19 and feeling pretty proud of it. I deal with the depression stuff too. I think we all do this early in the game. I try to stay active and it really helps. Im hardly home anymore these days. Hang in there. Congradulations on 28 days. There was a movie called 28 days. As I replied just above, I have had all the same feelings too. Hang in there. 45 days!!!!! Yeah!!!! Keep up the good work and keep hitting those meetings. Welcome to day 9.
