Peke, honey, a plant-based diet does not mean you can't eat meat or fish. The idea is to eat low amounts of animal products. I worry that you are not getting enough nutrition, sweetie.

Peke stick an earplug in that ear!TC , I know that all will be well with you this time around.
I need to break out of my state of apathy and try to get back into an old hobby today.
I'll pledge for today also

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I will say that messing up was key to understanding the SEVERITY of my problem. I WANTED sobriety before. Now I understand that I NEED it.
So I want it and need it. I’m going to live in it!
Good luck with your hobby today, Zenith!
Way to go, Meshelly and Runner!
I’m glad you are here, venuscat!

Hi Venus!
Thank you for your concern. I went to brunch with a friend today. And I ate a lot!! They have these huge slices of bread with avocado and tomatoes on them. I also had a large mocha! It was so good.
Today I saw my friend fro brunch. Then I went to visit my friend’s boat. He bought it second hand and he’s put a lot of work into it. He offered me a beer. But I had tea. So that was good. I think keeping busy with friends is a good move for now.
Just wanted to share this. Last night at 4am I got sick. I was throwing up. This happened before, but I had been drinking. So I’m not sure what this is about. Probably just a bug. I hope that my drinking hasn’t caused any kind of serious GI issues. I sure didn’t drink that frequently. Or that much?? But who knows.

I’m glad you had a nice visit with your friend, Peke!
I get nervous about little illnesses/ailments here and there, too. In all likelihood it was just some viral ick, but checking with the doctor isn’t a bad idea - especially if the symptoms continue. I can get myself really worked up about stuff that turns out to be no big deal.
Thinking of you!

Hello, all, and Happy Monday.
After making a brief appearance here almost ten years ago, I have quietly lurked now and then while flirting, at best, with real sobriety. After using the Pandemic's enforced isolation -- coupled with a new "work at home" status -- to become an everyday drinker, my consumption dramatically increased over the last year. I have to stop, I know it, but these days I regularly find myself drinking against my own will.
I have avoided real consequences for too long, and I know that a real reckoning is inevitable if I keep this up: Sooner rather than later (there have been some close calls). Real opportunities, of a life-changing quality, will likely be lost if/when that occurs, and I can't let that happen. There is too much at stake.
So I'm back. Hopefully on my way to becoming a regular on the site. Sobriety really, really needs to "stick" this time. Thanks to all for making that a possibility by providing this forum.

Good morning.
I feel really good today. I have so much energy and I want to do everything all at once. This is when my AV gets loud. Because when I don't accomplish all the things that I want to do, I get myself stressed out, and want to drink so I don't see it. How dumb is that? lol
Today I'm going to try something different. I'm not worry about it. I'm going to do what I can today in the moments I have, and leave the rest for tomorrow. It's not like the mess is going anywhere anyway. It'll wait for me.
Day 5 AF
Day 77 caffeine free

Sobertoday, yes, we're all on this journey together.
Meshelly, I had to strive for balance in all parts of my life in early recovery. It sounds like you are doing that too, and it's a good thing. Do what you can, and leave the rest, guilt-free.
Stalwart, welcome back!
