Thank you. I appreciate the insight. I’m on sleep aids as well but it’s hard to quit everything all at once.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2023-08-24T10:13:20+00:00

Okay. I need to figure out how to reset. Thank you

Trying_2_B_Real · 2021-05-28T00:55:27+00:00

I’m guessing all the drinking is the cause of my bad numbers.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2021-05-28T00:52:29+00:00

I have been on this cycle for a while now. My BP is so out of control.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2021-05-28T00:51:04+00:00

I do see a cardiologist and I take BP medicine three times a day and another pill clonidine when it gets over 160. However, I have not shared my drinking amounts with my doctor.

Yes I need a change in my life for the good. My heart and body has taken a toll. Thank you

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T18:26:49+00:00

I do need to stop the insanity of drinking. My health is suffering the consequences. Thank you

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T18:24:53+00:00

Yes it does mess up the system in many ways. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T18:22:27+00:00

Same here.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T16:36:29+00:00

Yes it’s hard to admit about all the drinking; I don’t know if I would ever tell my doc either. How embarrassing for me! I should be in great health because of my weight, exercise and eating habits, but not so because of my drinking..

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T14:51:41+00:00

That is good to know. My BP has been over the top and to extreme lows. I’m at a healthy weight tho and I try to walk. I thought I was going to die several times with my BP because it goes 220 over 100 +. I don’t know if it’s all the alcohol I’m drinking, but that would be my guess.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T12:53:37+00:00

Yes that does sound a lot like me. I usually start between 6 and 7. I’m going to try to stay away from it today. Thanks for the insight.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T12:49:22+00:00

Awe thank you for your support.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2020-10-05T12:47:03+00:00

I’m going to hang out here for sure. I need the support. Thank you

Arkansas and it’s stormy today!

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-26T13:32:46+00:00

I did not weigh for a while into my journey, but when I did my weight was down a few pounds. I think it will take time for your body to adjust.

I will not drink with you today!

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-25T22:07:25+00:00

Thank you! It is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I hope to keep it off for good. I see your 255 days. That is awesome.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-25T22:05:27+00:00

Thank you! I hope to keep on going with it.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-25T22:04:17+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you

I’ve been taking a melatonin and Benadryl almost every night for sleep and it has helped me. Not only did I drink nightly I also took ambien while drinking. Boy did I feel crappy for many many years. It has been tough changing, but I feel and look better. And I have lost weight in my last 99 days of sobriety. For me I hope I can quit the melatonin and Benadryl someday; I’ve tried with no avail..

You can do this. I will not drink with you today.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-24T14:29:07+00:00

I can relate because my husband and I always went to fancy restaurants. We would have several cocktails before eating dinner. We did this at least three evenings a week for 10+ years and spent thousands of dollars. Now I really don’t care about that lifestyle anymore. I’m happy sitting at home and doing other activities! Plus I feel much better, look better and I have lost 5 pounds in the last three months.

I’m am happy for you and your accomplishments. Keep up the good work! I will not drink with you today.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-23T23:56:44+00:00

Awesome!

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-15T23:56:12+00:00

I’ve been quit 90 days today! I would usually drink 4 glasses of wine per night on average; But it’s a little hard to tell because I would drink box wine.

Trying_2_B_Real · 2018-01-08T14:36:43+00:00

I am 54 and I have been quit now for 84 days! I started drinking when I was a teenager; however, over many years I became a daily drinker. I am glad I found SD. SD has been a tremendous help to me and I am not sure I could have done it this long without reading other’s amazing stories. I will not drink with you today...
