Music, working out, what exercises build which muscles, different running competitions, cooking and food porn, whole foods, cooking, oh I could go on and on.

I found a recipe for home made Goldfish crackers the other day. It's my next venture.

I gotta try that Tazo Passion tea...I've been doing a mixture of lemon and blueberry zinger. In sobriety i am finally getting the recommended amout of liquids instead of dehydrating myself every day.

On day 7 -
The first 5 days I seemed to be addicted to FOOD, I gained 4 lbs from junk food binges.

This week, I am focusing on eating right, and trying to get to work out but with 4 kids its proving impossible... I am trying to fgure out how I had so much time to drink cause I am seriously exhausted and overworked!

My #1 addictio - my kids (10/6/4/2)

Initially my addiction was chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Now my addiction is working out at the gym

SR, Nerds (candy, although I like nerds in general too), PEPSI MAX (trying to cut that down), running and fast food the first couple of weeks, but I was able to nip that one in the bud. Also I have been reading more and watching a lot of movies.

Actually, I have been obsessing about nutrition. Have been eating only good things for over a month now. It does make a difference coupled with sobriety.

Key lime Ice Cream. It has the crust, key lime and everything. Gotta go. On my way to the store. If you haven't tried it.....Don't do it. It will push you over the edge.

My dogs. Spending good time with them, more walks, paying more attention to their needs. And the money I used to spend on wine goes for vet bills and dog supplies.

Welp - lately, it's been sweets in the form of chocolate...could be anything: Chocolate chip cookies (always was an addiction), Clif Bars, dark chocolate from Trader Joes. Then when I'm not doing that, I'm riding and/or wrenching on one of my bikes or I'm running.

The running/riding isn't so bad as I'm trying to lose weight, anyway. The food/sugar replacement tends to be a bit frustrating, tho...

SR for sure. My husband watches TV and I post. Sadly, I think he thinks it's a faze.

Oh, and diet ginger ale on ice.

I wonder if I can get our local bar to stock ginger ale? I wonder if I can bring one with me?

Karaoke night is coming. I know it sounds stupid, but Mr. Man loves it and I cannot take it from him.

Music in general, but especially doom and metal bands.

^^^ Same here.
My fiance and I can't keep our hands off eachother. I know its because I'm me again. We're connecting emotionally all over again which in turn makes sex more passionate.
While I was drinking, sex was just sex.
It hasn't been this way in a very long time.
Sobriety seriously rocks! =)

I am obsessed with getting my life back in order. I put so many things 'off' and on my wife to deal with that I am obsessing on getting sh*t done. I fell in love with organizing recently....oh.....and ice cream.
