4 weeks today, it’s gone so quickly. Like a blur of work and gym time. It’s also my 4th weekend of doing double workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Yoga class then cardio and weights. I go on Thursdays and Fridays too just cardio and weights. I have only lost 2lbs. I never loose much weight even with cutting out all the empty calories from alcohol. I also calorie count. I completed two hours of work at home today. I will be well prepared for the week when my co-workers will be coming to me with questions and expecting immediate answers. Now just Netflix and relaxing all evening. Tomorrow I am going to walk my dogs in the park. Happy sober Sunday
Congratulations on 28 days mariposa! Well done to all of you who now have a sober weekend in the bank. For all of you who for one reason or another are using the weekend as a time to drink but want to change then do read some of the recovery stories on SR. Anyone can do it - it is just a question of finding the key, the method that works for you and unlocks success.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!

That's a good analogy Sao. Find the key to fit the lock of success.
Although I did have to try a lot of keys I eventually found mine. Now, gotta hold it close and make sure I never lose it.

Good morning all. Alfie sure knows how to pose to a picture!
Among other things, I cleaned out the gutters yesterday. Ugh, what job, it exhausted me. That's what I get for leaving them so long.
I feel like just relaxing today.

I went to the rodeo yesterday. It was a bit strange as the introductions are kind of all about family, country, God, the flag, veterans, wholesome appearing young people - and then treating animals roughly. Quite the juxtaposition. There was beer/wine available but no one seemed to have any. There was a demolition derby going on in the next arena. I might have liked that more. Then I got lost when I hit a detour and ended up 10 miles out of my way in the dark. That was fun.
Onward through September.

Still here, still busy, still sober.
I had another drinking dream last night where I drank and then decided to pretend like I didn’t. Wtf. Waking up was another relief. Can my brain be cool for like a second? Afraid I am romanticizing the drink a little bit, and every time I have a what if thought I firmly tamp it down with memories of what it was like.
I’ve worked out this morning and would never have been able to do 40lb squats while drinking. I get stronger every day (lol not losing any weight but WHATEVER that’s not what it’s about) and I’m proud of my progress.
Drinking ruins everything. It has never once made me feel powerful or in control. So that’s that.
Plans today include attempting to make a soufflé and eating some good grilling with my mom. Hopefully the former will be successful.
Im sorry I haven’t kept up with y’all. Still reading though. Happy Labor Day for us USA folks.

Me too. I think I'm now that low and beat down that booze has started to good again. I'm going to the doctors on Wednesday to see about upping psych meds/going on a waiting list for counselling.
This sobriety thing blows right now.

I hope they were not too rough with the cattle bim. It's not as if they chose to be there.
Have a grrreat Labor Day to all in the US!
I think I mentioned that I was due to fight a duel today. Well I did and won by tampering with the springs on my opponent's nerf gun. Fitting because as far as i'm concerned, from this day onwards the River Thames rises at Seven Springs rather than Thames Head. So there.

As far as the cows: It was Cowboys 2 / Steer 4 when I left on the steer wrestling and it was Cowgirls 4 / Calfs 4 on the calf roping. At least the roping isn't a yank-back the calf and then hogtie it - it was just, get-a-rope-on-it-from-horseback and then the rope gets released so there's no injuries to cowgirl, horse or calf.
It was still going at 9PM, past my bedtime and I wanted to beat the crowd outta there.
G'nite weekenders.
