Congrats on your clean time JDS. What's the biggest difference that you notice between yourself now and two weeks ago?

I feel like I have much more energy. My mind is clear now, not cloudy or in a disoriented state. I'm eating regular and walking everyday. It feels great to be sober and I had forgotten what that felt like.

PS: I have more money now. I'm not buying drugs anymore. LOL

Sixteen days sober and I feel great. I'm walking daily and I start 2 miles per day this week. Lost several pounds and I look forward to being at a healthy weight again. Those stupid drugs have had me down for a long time and now I'm winning this battle. Many, Many thanks to God, my wife and S/R for all of the help to get this far.

Sounds like you are doing great JDS...And a big CONGRATS on three weeks...I was just curious if you are working any kind of recover plan to assist you in keeping it that way?

Sorry, I missed this post. No plan in place per say, just my Faith in the Lord and SR.

That's good...My problem was I wasn't in very fit spiritual condition when I quit....I was a walking disaster....I have a Higher Power...I just needed the 12 steps of AA to get right with that HP...Clear the wreckage of my past...So I could let the good stuff in...Becomes kind of a new way of living...A good way I might add...Best of luck to you and keep it up...

Just thought I would check in. It will be 9 weeks tomorrow of being clean. I have lost 55 lbs from my heaviest weight and I'm walking daily. I am up to 1 hour and 15 minute a day, walking. Energy level has been off the charts for weeks. My goal is walking 2 hours a day, which should be around 5 miles. Thank You S/R for all of your help.
