Mine are ringing off the hook. And I have the same song in my head that won't stop. Ben by Michael Jackson. I hope I didn't jinx you...

BrightenMeUp

No songs yet. No worries about a jinxing!!

Hi all - okay, I'm starting a new routine now that I'm at Day 8 of sobriety. I'm going to jog/slow run every day starting at day 10 for the same amount of minutes. So, 10 days of sobriety = 10 minutes of running, and so on. Not sure what made me want to do this, but thought I share this meaningless plan :-)

Dee74

Getting active is a good part of any plan I think Sonny.

Thanks Dee...my plan is eventually run from my meeting location to home, which is about 9.x miles. I may lose my knees :-)

Hi October group. Its been a long time since I last posted. Very long time. My drinking is getting worse every year. Use to think that fitness would stop me from drinking and it did a few years back. But the addiction gets stronger every year.
Yesterday I ran for two hours just so I could drink a bottle of wine. How crazy is that!!
Day one. Please let me have the inner strength to get through this day sober.

Hi everyone

I've just looked back when I last posted. It was last Friday - seems 2 minutes ago!

I did my half marathon, wasn't great. I wanted to do a better time than last year but ended up a minute slower. It was all down to my drinking binge messing up my last 2 weeks of training. I did it but I don't feel like I accomplished anything because of that. I was nearly in tears around mile 12 when I knew I'd messed it up.

I'm doing ok now. 12 days in. I'm not sleeping well but that's not unusual whether I'm drinking or not. A friend of mine is going through a horrendous time and I was thinking about her last night. I wish I could help.

Hi to all the new comers.

Regarding boredom - I find it difficult this time of year. The nights are so long. Last night I was getting annoyed by about 7 because there was nothing on TV and I'd been sat in my pjs for an hour by then. A good thing I find is just to get physically tired, that way I'm happy then just to curl up on the sofa and watch rubbish TV. Otherwise I just get restless and irritable.

Hello class. Checkin in. Day 10 for me.

Im back to my walking routine, but still having issues with my feet. Hubs is out of town this week, and I had thoughts of drinking last night, but was able to let the urge pass. It took about 10 minutes. Playing the tape thru really helped me this time around.

Great to see so many posting. Lets keep up the good work!

Welcome opalblue. I too in the past, have exercised more, just so I could drink and not gain any extra weight. You are not alone. Great to have you here.

Meso, I saw IT too, a few weeks ago! Awesome. I read the book years ago, was the best book Ive ever read. Big fan of Stephen King.
