Guess if I had added Coke, I'd been rocket man simply due the amount of Mentos I ingested in the first 10 days.

real watermelon today you for sure put me in the mood and they are on sale!

I made one with the blended watermelon, seltzer and blackberry flavor. So delish. Then my daughter had to ruin it by saying, 'This would be good with vodka'. Yah. I'm sure it would BUT.....she was obviously just joking around. I've been sober long enough now that we can joke. Progress? In its weird way, yes.

Congrats on your Sobriety!!

Frozen watermelon is an awesome treat. We do it when we go camping.
I don't think I was very healthy in my food choices at first, definitely not drink choices, I mixed every syrup with club soda I could find. Now I do an Italian soda only for special occasions and stick with diet drinks or water. Watermelon is a good thing to be addicted to!

But it DOES get better in the next couple of days...and yes when my sister is ready to recover from alcohol...I will be bringing her some Watermelon as well.

Keep going...routing for you. I'm on Day 10 now and feel SO much better...actually have a full day planned...the first 5 days I could not leave the house...I was so weak and exhausted from what I did to my body....or what the ALCOHOL did to my body.

My son had Watermelon chunks in the fridge he had cut up the night before and I was on Day 1 of sobriety...my stomach was growling for food but the thought of putting food in my mouth made me want to hurl.

I took a bite of Watermelon that day and it was a nice cold burst of water.....with very little "flavor" so I did not gag....I finished off his Watermelon that day.

And I swear in the 8 days I have been sober and day 5 back to regular food .....I have probably eaten 2 whole Watermelons by MYSELF...LOL.

Showing up at the market for a Watermelon.....BEATS showing up at the packy at 8am for some booze.....

I keep reading about people and the things they're doing in suggesting exercise, but I can hardly move right now. I started a load of laundry but then had to lay down.

I have a watermelon, but I don't have the energy to cut it right now. I'm trying to convince myself to do it because it will be so rewarding after....plus, I need to eat something.

thanks again for the support and keep up your great work!!!
