Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I had them to I am afraid,but I believe its all part of the course, I am now 22 months sober and they are far and few between, it's just the old demon in us trying to be deceptive, just listen to your thinking mind it knows best
Stick with it and congrats on 72 days

I'm glad you took the rest of the day off. Just chill out and this too shall pass. Your mind and body are all in topsy-turvy now; try to relax and go to a meeting tonight.
If you are picking up chips for your landmarks in sobriety, then make sure that you carry your current one with you to remind you of what you have accomplished.
Last but not least remember that whatever emotion you are feeling today, will be gone by tomorrow morning. This too shall pass.
It's good that you're crying. You're human, you have feelings. You probably have a lot of wounds to heal and you might not even be aware of them all. My sponsor tells me all the time. The more you cry, the more you heal...
You are just fine. keep going to meetings. It will get better. you're in my prayers
Now when you get pissed, sad, stressed, happy, etc., you will need to figure out how to react w/out drinking--you are having a fairly typical experience that is part of the normal recovery process. Hang tough. I'm not sure how long you drank, but even if it wasn't a long road to this point, it is not realistis to expect to rebalance yourself in less than three months. I have four years and still have my moments. But a lot less of them.
Remember too you really don't progress emotionally after you start alcoholic drinking--so a lot of us have some maturing to do....ie I started drinking at 17, and have been sober 4 years, so emotionally (on a good day!!) I can be expected to have the maturity of a 21 yo (even though I'm chronologically 40!!).
Good luck!!
