Hoping that's what you meant.

So good to see so many here.
I can see I am repeating the same mistake. I went for three months sober awhile back, expecting not only to feel better and gain control over myself, but to lose weight without the alcohol. But what I did in those three months is transferred my addiction to food, heavily buttered popcorn to keep my hands busy, sugar, carbs, and not only did I not lose weight, my cholesterol hit an old time high on my labs back then.
Last night, I dove in to the left over halloween candy, boxed junk food, two bowls of ice cream, and I made myself so sick. I woke up in the middle of the night wanting to throw up, I still feel sick today. Dumb, foolish...
Starting now, anything that goes in to my body has to be healthy. I was killing myself with booze, then I moved over to killing myself with junk food.
I would like to reply more to all the posts here, but like a true addict who hurt themself, I am feeling so crappy right now I am only thinking of myself.
I can see why I bounced back and forth to booze, trying to pick the least damaging, I think at times I felt less worse hungover than I do food hungover. Truly a problem here I need to gain control over.
I don't think I have ever made myself this sick on food before.

I just wanted to pop in and say welcome if you're new. 1 year ago I started this journey in the November 2018 class. Each of you are awesome and I'm glad you're here! You got this. If there are ever any doubts, it gets better.

I had a good day today!
My husband was away for 4 hours. I bought some groceries, came home and made some cookies and prepared a nice dinner. Normally I would have stopped at the liquor store as well and drank while cooking since my husband was away. Then I would pass out on the couch for the rest of the day. Today when my husband came home, I could tell he was watching me to see if I had been drinking. He finally asked me if I missed drinking and I surprised us both by saying no.
I know it's very early in my recovery, but so far so good! I think that every time I can successfully by pass the liquor store, is a step in the right direction. It's all about changing habits for me.
I'm glad everyone had a good day as well. Off to bed for me.

Good morning, class! And what a wonderful morning it is! I just love the feeling of waking up refreshed, not constantly wondering what happened last night.
Today my GF and I are having my parents over for dinner, and I'm preparing moose roast for the first time in my life. Gotta do some cleaning as well, the kids are coming tonight. (OK, some background story: Last summer I left my husband of 18 years for a woman (crazy, I know), and she turned out to be the love of my life. She left her husband as well, and we now live together. Between us we have four kids, and two of them live with us every other week. My ex husband lives just a few yards away and we have managed to stay good friends.)
I've never felt this happy in my life, and that is why I have decided to stop drinking all together. I want to get the most out of my new, wonderful life with her, my person. <3

Day 3 for me. I did lots of driving in rain yesterday which left me wanting to 'relax' with a drink, but didn't. So I fell good about that.
I'm more worried about my brother at the moment, who had severe pancreatitis earlier this year, but is now back to carrying around a water bottle filled with vodka.

I would voice my worries.....you probably have already.
