Wink Work it out

Hello and welcome all newbies and regulars at SR in thier first few years of recovery (I'm coming up on 7 years that's nearly a few I reckon ?

Anyway I've been going through the worst 2-3 years of my recovery, possibly my life (without getting into details) some might know some of what I've been going through a lot won't but it's all been pretty heartbreaking to say the least

And I'm here to say stay sober stay resistent and I find a great way of alleviating stress of any sort is through weightlifting always have done and it kinda plays into that analogy Dee74 uses about sober muscles

Throughout all my stress bad days weeks months years etc that weightlifting has helped massively I started off with a everlast bench with a bar and 40kg I now have 3 different bars benches and in the greatest shape of my life for my age (37 & 3 quarters lol)

Just wanted to say a personal thank you to Dee74 for being there recently I'm not trying to blow you up big guy but when I'm like this and trust hardly anyone I always know I can trust that dude big big love D

Go get working out I'm back on my 4am grind and I don't need to be

Soberwolf. You reached out to me when I first returned here, now I'm reaching out to you. Whatever it is you are going through I'm here if needed. I will never forget the concern you showed during the bushfires here, in Australia 🐨, nor the hand you held to me.

I hope you are able to transcend what troubles you Soberwolf. ❤️

I have confidence you can get through any situation SW and do it sober

You can always ask for help here tho - many many pairs of 'safe hands' to help too

Soberwolf, I'm sorry to read of your heartbreak and stress. You reached out to me offering support when I first joined SR and I always valued your posts. I'm glad to read you're weightlifting and staying strong physically, whilst exercising your sober muscles.

I am here for you too xx

Hi Soberwolf

You are a rock around here and have helped hundreds or more (including me).
Just wanted to give you a little recognition and send you support.

I hope whatever is troubling is resolved quickly with the best outcome for all involved.

Hugs brother

Dear SW, I am so sorry for the rough time you are going through. You have been so much to so many on this site! You have been there for me many times when I was feeling weak, unsure or going through a rough time. I hope things are getting better and please feel free to message me ANYTIME to talk things out. Sometimes just saying it out loud or typing it out helps. I have been battling cancer this last year and I can tell you that everyday, even the bad days, are good days.

I am struggling too. Last few years have been torture for me. If I were a little older, I probably would just drink myself to death. 43 is too young to die so I keep trying. Good luck!

On my mind Soberwolf.

Hope you are still getting through the tough times Soberwolf. If this were dependent on the love for you here, I know you will be.

Stay strong. Stay loving. Stay Soberwolf.
