I'm sorry for your loss, Winslow. I can't imagine what you have been going through. But I'm glad you're back and working on sobriety!

I made it!! Four days with my mom(huge trigger) and I didn't drink,didn't want to,didn't feel anxious or urgey or left out when she did drink,I'm glad I was able to make new,sober memories with her and my brother,,I actually got a second chance cuz last time they were here I was totally wasted and cried after they left cuz I was sooooo disappointed in myself! I'm happy

Thank you💗 my plan has been common sense, exercise, gratitude thinking, another Al forum that I've belonged to for years,coming back here when I've felt like I was on shaky ground to read mostly,a messenger group with some of my friends from the other forum it's nice to have that immediate support,better nutrition (not perfect yet but defo better) getting enough sleep, keeping up on vitamins, distraction distraction distraction! Also not spending too much time on the past,too much thinking about my drinking some how only makes the thought of doing it again fresher,id rather just push the thoughts out and focus on the now

Day 140,been craving free for the most part but with Christmas those Rose colored glasses come out,I thought the holidays would be a nice distraction but it's actually harder for me for some reason maybe just association between the music,lights,chaos,etc

Day 220💗 been feeling good as far as no boozing goes but I found out I'm very low on iron and it's really hard for me to straighten out cuz I get really sick and wiped out from the supplements! Terrible headaches, body pain, stomach issues, etc just gonna keep trying different forms until I find the one I can tolerate, Amazon is gonna be rolling in the dough with all the pills I'm buying haha

Congrats on 220 winslow!

Tough deal about the supplements.
Have they not recommended dietary measures for your low iron?
