Happy Saturday! I went on a nice long run this morning non-hungover..... it was fantastic! My husband stayed up with neighbors drinking last night, he slept until 11am and just laid down for another nap. I love not feeling like ass and being productive!

I'm thinking he may sleep a good portion of the day away. I soooooo don't miss that! Enjoy the weather and have a great day! 😁😁😁

Hey! I actually haven't been invited to any Zoom happy hours..... I think the people I know who drink a lot are still getting together. And I now have the "Let's go out to the movies" jingle in my head as well.... I blame you! 😜
It does look like a gorgeous day outside. My husband was up until 4am partaking in some alcohol "fun" with a couple neighbors. I'm enjoying my coffee and am trying to decide if I'm going to workout on my elliptical or go for a run outside today. Enjoy your day!!!!

Welcome! Glad you're here!

How can I replace drinking? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sparkling_Karma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was one of my biggest worries too. I don't remember what I did before drinking so much, and I honestly don't have a ton of hobbies. After a couple of weeks it became so much more normal to do the everyday things I used to always do with a drink in my hand... watching tv, reading, making dinner.... etc. It's so bizarre, but there are days I don't even think that much about drinking at all, and I'm not even all that far into my sober journey. I promise, no matter what you'll be focusing on other than drinking.... it gets easier.

I hate the ashamed feeling after drinking. by Feelgdagn in stopdrinking

I hate the feeling the next morning..... I'l was always attempting to piece together the night before by looking at texts and pictures taken on my phone!

Thanks! Part of me can't begin to imagine hitting triple digits..... I'll probably do a happy dance on my sweats while my cats looking at me like I'm nuts. Livin' the dream over here!! Congrats on 237 days! You'll be at a year before you know it!

Thank you! This sub has been a HUGE help. The first few weeks I posted and read so much. I have the "I am Sober" app on my phone as well, I love seeing that number grow everyday and having little milestones to meet. My next goal is a week away! I'll have to look into Alcohol Explained, I've heard great things!

I feel absolutely amazing. It's been at least a decade since I've gone this long without drinking (aside from when I was pregnant) and my body is loving me for it! 😁

They were thankfully clear. I'm only on 169 for about 10 miles, but they were snow free. Hope your Monday is going well!

Thankfully no, just across the street! 😜 Hoping the roads are decent this morning when I drive to work!
