    • About Me

      I just realized I had a serious problem with alcohol in January. I scheduled myself for a 5 day stint in rehab in late February, but ended up going to the ER on 2/6 and then to rehab for 6 days to detox. It was a great experience being with others like me, but the physical withdrawal was rather unpleasant. So, now I'm officially sober, earlier than planned! I work for a high tech firm and my position involves a lot of responsibility/visibility, which causes me a lot of anxiety. My boyfriend is a wonderful guy, who has never touched alcohol in his life. So, while he is striving to be supportive, he just doesn't 'get it'. I've been very inspired by the postings and journals on this site, and look forward to making new friends that understand and can help me in this journey.

      seems like without adding exercise most people gain weight, we are no longer drinking instead of eating. I did notice that at bout 3-4 weeks I dropped a couple pounds, but have since put them back on. you might find getting out a bit and walking helpful.
