We might be knocked down 100 times, but we get back up stronger and better than before. This mindset helps me personally because it takes a lot of pressure off of me in terms of thinking I lose everything from a slip up. And, it also has helped me get back on the wagon faster and easier because I didn't spend that time and energy beating myself up.
A week in to sobriety again.. Feeling hopeful though. Been having a few N/a beers when im craving something, they've seem to help a lot especially in social environments. Its funny they taste like beer but ill only have one an hour naturally compared to the real thing id kill 3-4 with ease in an hour. Body still recovering, reworking itself; random body pains, but they're improving. Hoping I can keep it going, don't want to slip up and go right back into the viscous cycle for probably the 100th time. Hoping this week I can drag myself back into the gym and begin to make that a hobby that I used to be addicted prior to my heavy drinking years.
You should definitely start getting back into the gym! I think that it is incredibly important to replace that time with drinking/using with hobbies and activities that are fulfilling and healthy! I believe the gym is especially helpful because consistent, regular exercise greatly improves physical and mental health. Keep us updated in this thread and please reach out if you need support!

Not a drop of alcohol thats how it needs to be in my case. I see close friends fall off the wagon after one glass of wine and it snowballs into oblivion. Find positive activities. Theres more to life than drugs and alcohol.
I will also say to pay attention to your daily intake (water & sodium) especially in hot climates and avoid NSAIDS these things are horrible for your kidneys.

I know naturally when you stop boozing, you'll lose some weight. Curious what kinda diet did you guys go on after sobriety to lose more weight. Count calories, keto etc?

I have recently been working on eating a bit less as well as not eating in the middle of the night. I know that people in recovery sometimes turn to craving food and sugar instead of drugs and alcohol.

Got blood test results from yearly physically. Didn't mention anything about liver which was surprising to hear. Guess taking time off actually helps with it. My cholesterol is high so gotta work on that. Had drank over the last week. But wasn't doing the back to back days and the numbers were no where near as I high as they used to be, still no excuse. Didn't drink last night so back onto the sober train. Been pretty good over last two months, lost 20 pounds back into the 270's. Looking to get into the 190s where I was before I started crushing beers so hard lol

14 months sober from alcohol, never have felt better in my life.
The strangest thing is the complete lack of urge to drink, even from the day that I stopped.

I also wrote a goodbye letter to alcohol which really made me realize just how big of a part it was in my life the last 8 years or so.

Sober Crew Bump. SUV broke down the other day and I had a 2 hr wait for a ride and a 5 iron shot away was a pub. Sucked it up and didn ruin my 230 day streak, but man that was tempting.
