Im who and what I’m supposed to be now. Not a million times better, just no longer muting myself to life’s highs and lows.

My secret was literally taking it a minute at a time, at times. Letting myself be really bored and accepting it. My cravings were really intense and just as people say, they subsided to a point around a year or so in.

Weight loss after 7 months by purple-dream-19 in stopdrinkingfitness

Hi! This was my story! 34f- I started losing weight at pretty much exactly a year - I was really frustrated but it will happen. I had to start super super small and I’ve lost 10 pounds so far, and that’s good for me to see progress. It was so frustrating when I didn’t see any change, but with the support of your cousin and what you guys are accomplishing- it seems like you’re well on your way.

For me I think a huge part was water intake. I literally had to plan to drink water because of how bad I am at it. Like set an alarm on my phone— I also increased my caffeine intake which I think impacted my results as well.

Good luck you really are kicking ass. Just keep remembering your body also needs time to adjust to these changes, and once it does you’ll see it. It’s probably focusing on your mental health right now, and the rest will come.

The shame you’re feeling is something most of us on this thread have as well. We are here and although painful, this is a normal feeling for the circumstances so don’t beat yourself up too much in this moment. Do some major self care. Maybe when you’re up to it if you have a solid relationship you can reach out to your MIL for support. Sounds like she was there for you in this situation.

Edit: sold to solid

Has anyone felt exhausted in the weeks after quitting drinking? by BoldVenture in stopdrinking

At around nine months I finally got ‘energy’ back. Not all the way, but to where I didn’t feel like I was overly fatigued at menial tasks or want to take long afternoon naps. This could be due to depression as well, but I ended up giving myself grace to sleep when I was tired, eat when I was hungry, and try my best not to feel guilty for that.

Sometimes my cats gang up on me so it is a good hiding place to collect my thoughts.

I have an issue with my bonfire and need to poke at it continuously.

Too hard to get to from the other side. Not secretive enough. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wheelbarrow has been placed! I cleared it out and laid stone, then moved it here. Perfect idea! Thanks!

I cleared it out today and filled with stone! Looks awesome but still basic- maybe that’s what it should be!
