240 hours...no, really! 10 days people , I have never gone this long without one little drink! My anxiety is down....However I am EXHAUSTED and I am STARVING all the time. Especially at night. Like my stomach is screaming FEED me!!!! I felt a little off earlier kinda nervous and I ate and had a Sprite and now I am fine but I could use a NAP zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Should I eat more protein? I have been loading up on Fruits, Nuts, Juice, Vitamins, Rice, Chocolate pudding ( when I wanted sweets ) Herbal tea Water, Soups What ya think? <3 :tyou |
Great job Trouble! I let myself eat any and everything I wanted for the first two weeks. I wouldn't worry so much about your diet just yet. Eat an entire German chocolate cake if it keeps away the cravings. That's what I've been doing and I am actually losing weight! Eat whatever makes you feel good and on the right path to sobriety! I am hoping to balance out my own diet around day 30. On day 19 now. Great job! |
All that booze was sugar calories. Your body want it. Give it ice cream. |
Thanks guys, I just had chicken and veggies with brown rice , Vegetable egg role , Water and chocolate pudding. Nap time hahaha |
Hugs! |
10 Days is fantastic!! Keep pushing through!! :You_Rock_ |
Thanks purpleknight! Appreciate it :):) |
Food, sleep and Netflix. That was my prescription for myself in the first couple weeks. Oh, and crying at AA meetings. Not that I would recommend trying that part. It was just the way it was for me. |
Congratulations on 10 days, that's wonderful! Keep it going! I didn't worry too much about what I was eating for the first few weeks, I figured anything was better than what I was doing before. |
Congrats on 10 days! :You_Rock_ Regarding your food question, if you pair up some protein with the snacks you mentioned, it will help to keep you full longer. Hope that helps! |
Trouble1234, 240 hours is FANTASTIC, congratulations. Just keep doing what you have been and you will be ok, rootin for ya. :egypt: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...ymW6GseBNHcyA- |

Well done on day 12 and I understand your food cravings, I'm on day 5 and have never had an appetite like this, I ate 2 large plates of chicken and pasta for dinner last night and then a chocolate bar and I've never even liked chocolate until now. I'm trying to do an hours sweaty exercise each day to keep it in check. Congrats and keep going |
M88RHM Thanks so much !! Chocolate is quite good huh?!! mmmmm I need to get int working out , everyday for an hour at least ! I have a darn treadmill here at my place , I started then I stopped and I know that is crucial to feeling better! Good luck on day 6 ! You can do it :) |
