Besides helping my MIL and Mom I have been walking a lot, doing weight workouts, riding my fat tire bike ( I have studs on the tires to help when it snows or is icy) , going on short hikes. Nothing significant compared to CO standards where I lived for 26 but nice none the less. How about you?

Long story short, for work. I was working at the time and was required to get the shots as I worked in health care. I may have to go back in a bit and it will be required. I am currently living with my MIL to help her out, helping my Mom, and visiting my FIL in a nursing home. My MIL is huge with getting the shots. I am not a huge fan of it that is for sure. I have some other friends who would have lost their jobs if they did not get the vaccine. Heck...even before all of this they would make us wear masks all day if we refused to get the flu vaccine from October through May.

Nods,
I know you’re new here. You too Alpine
'Vaxxed or not' is a topic for other websites and forums.
Our time here in SR is best served focused on recovery and the things that bring us together.
Please move on to another topic.
Thanks

Stay strong Nods, just think you are now over 2 weeks!! That is huge. Do you have a plan in place in case AV comes at you? I think I mentioned it before..I try to keep myself very busy/active with exercising, hobbies, cleaning or whatever it takes. Usually the AV goes away fairly quickly for me. I just have to remain focused as I know I can not just have one drink..It is slippery slope for me.

Things ok here, dry as a bone in alcohol and weather.
Each day brings strength. Having done this twice before gives great motivation. X

Doing well, I am trying to keep myself busy. I was in a kind of a bummy mood yesterday and this morning but did not drink nor have the desire to drink. I would rather be in a bummy mood due to outside forces vs drinking and making myself feel even worse. Good for you for more dry days.
